280576 - Firefox doesn't allow me to use 'save as' to save web pic in bmp format (For use as Wallpaper)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 207689

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Patraig]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Suggested Design Improvement:

Feature:  Ability to save pictures in jpg OR bmp, rather than in the jpg format
only.

Why?   Currently other browsers (Eg:  Internet Explorer) allow you to save
pictures/wall paper in either jpg or bmp file format.  (By right mouse clicking
on a pic you can see on a web page.)  Mozilla does not offer this feature of
saving a pic in the bmp format.  Many people download wallpaper from the
internet; either at wallpaper web sites (E.g:  www.hebus.com  good stuff!  :))
or regular web sites.  If you want to do that with Mozilla, it becomes
complicated.  Saving wallpaper that you can use as a background for your
desktop, is done by saving a BMP pic file in the Windows directory in the bmp
format.  Mozilla currenlty Mozilla doesn't allow you to do this... thus making
this wonderful browser... not desirable to use, when the user is obtaining
wallpaper off the internet.

Currently I have kept MS Internet Explorer on each of our families machines,
just for this purpose.  I'd rather just use Firefox and dump IExplorer... but
until Mozilla adds this feature...

Thanks, go get em.  :) 

Reproducible: Always
