Every time I drag an image to the desktop, firefox downloads links to an image instead od downloading the image directly.
Every time I try clicking and dragging an image, it downloads a link instead, and I have to right click the image,click save image as, ask it where to download it, and click download. Anyone knows how to fix this? I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, and my search engine is google chrome.

Hmm, did you mention Google because this problem is specific to Google image results?
Does it work any better if you:
- right-click the image and click Copy Image
- then right-click the desktop (or a blank area of a folder) and click Paste
Yes, this happens in google images. But when I use bing, it does not have this problem. And copying and pasting doesn't seem to be possible because my desktop has the "paste" button grayed out.
I think a script in the image results page is intercepting and blanking the clipboard to make it hard to copy from the page. This may be difficult to bypass without breaking copy/paste on a number of sites.
In addition to the Save Image As method, you can Ctrl+click/Middle-click the View Image button (on the right side of the black panel) to view the image stand-alone in a new tab (on its original address) where copying should work normally. That might be a little faster.
When I view an image in another tab, I can drag and drop successfully, but I still would want to click and drag directly from the image on the page.
