Have a weird "problem". I have been using Firefox on my iMac for the longest time. No complaints, very happy with it. In fact what I like about it is its ability to block ads by using Adblock, and its ability to download pics. You know some websites disable the right click button right? Well there is a way to use Firefox to overcome this. :D

Anyway, I am now using Android phone which has Firefox. No problems since I can sync bookmarks online between the two.

Am considering a switch to the successor to the iPhone 6+. Yes Firefox is supposedly coming out for iPhone but firstly we don't know when. Secondly, I presume Safari is much more stable on iPhone than Firefox since its made by Apple.

I could start using Safari on my iMac from now one and that solves the problem as I can sync bookmarks online between my iMac and iPhone. Problem is I can't do without Firefox's ability to download all sorts of "hidden" or blocked images.

Any suggestions? Someone suggested continue using Firefox as default browser but after each session, copy all the bookmarks to Safari on my iMac and overwrite it. Then sync Safari iMac to Safari iPhone.

But sounds damn troublesome leh! Plus what if I add bookmarks on my iPhone? Then I need to sync back to Safari iMac and copy from there to Firefox iMac? :eek::eek:

You could just inspect element and download the images.
You can do the same on Google Chrome.

Firefox is slow... and now comes bundled with bloat (Pocket)

But Inspect Element is different right? For Firefox I click on Tools then Page Info and select the Media tab. I then scroll down till the correct pic appears in the preview window and right click to save. Anyway to do that on Safari?

Side note: Firefox just crashed on my iMac. AGAIN!!! :s8: Never used to be like this!
