It is a Facebook problem - since they have changed over to the slide show view of photos you cant save them.

Easy answer, open a photo as normal, when the photo appears in the black slideshow, click the refresh button on the toolbar at the top of FF - the photos revert back to the old FB style of showing the photos - then right click and 'save image option is there ...

thanks, clicking the refresh button while viewing a photo in FB works. I can save the picture. awesome! so do you think not getting the friends list in FB is also a FB issue?

Not sure about the friends list I'm afraid .... probably another FB problem !

Mine show up fine ...

I also have this problem but on e-bay. I routinely "save pictures as" from e-bay. The solutions that are offered here do not satisfy my problem. Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

You can try if you can find the images in "Tools > Page Info > Media" and save them there.

My gosh, friend this is so awesome..I just tried it and it works.. how did you figure this out btw? So I have another problem.. in FFox when someone sends me an email with an photo in the email and I try to right click it is saved as a Firefox doc and not as a photo and I can't open it..any suggestions? I right click on the photo the picture library opens but on the photo line it's a Firefox document..???

If someone's friends list does not show up, it could be that they have blocked people from seeing the list. My brother did this to me, but I could see everybody else's friends list. I guess he was jealous I would 'steal' his girlfriends away from him. So, it could be their privacy or account settings causing this. If it is this way with EVERYBODY'S profile, then I'd say it's a FB problem.

I found that if I allow third party cookies I get the friends list just fine in FaceBook games.... solved my problem. Thanks to everyone for helping.
