How do I allow pictures to come through to add as a background?

I right click on a picture but it will not bring up any kind of box to allow me to add the picture as my desktop background or anything like that. My wife can but I cannot figure out why I can't anymore.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

I just checked in 3.6 and it works just fine, so I can only imagine your not clicking on an actual image, but rather a flash based graphic etc.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
