firefox does not save gifs as images
i used to use chrome until i installed a 14 bit color profile so i installed firefox
i found i could not right click and save a gif like i save a PNG or Jpeg
it only says "copy gif address" and this is NOT what i want
i want to right click and "save as" like chrome does
google is useless on this front and i cant get it to work properly
what is so hard about allowing me to download gifs like i would jpegs and PNGs

You can search for video in the Inspector (in this case it is result #11 and it is deeply hidden) or use the Web Console or Network Monitor to copy the URL to the clipboard. If the GIF isn't running then you merely get the placeholder image.
i want it to do this when i right click on any GIF without needing to segregate the gif to a new tab

why cant firefox just ignore the transparent overlay thing so i can do this without the codesFirefox's context menu has always worked this way. The question of "why" may be answered somewhere, but with 15 years of history to search, well, do you really want to search for it?
i guess what i mean to say is that chrome works with this easily and without the needed codes
Hmm, not for me, I get the same "Copy Gif Address" as in Firefox. Could it be an extension you installed in Chrome that facilitates the download?
nope no extentions save for adblock
same rules here in firefox no extentions save for adblock
