I need some help. I search the web a lot to find images or photos, primarily to use on the FReepathon. Today, when I tried for the first time, I didn't get the normal info that enables me to copy, the address I guess you would call it, of the photo I want to use in a post.
More info in comment below.

Up until today, when I right-clicked on an image, the box that comes up included an option that I used to copy the info (like this)
http://www.leavedebtbehind.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/change-jar.jpg so that I could then incorporate the image into a post. Sorry, but I can't remember exactly what the wording was for that particular option.
Now, when I right-click on an image, I get the following...
View Image
Save Image as...
Copy Image
Copy Image Location...
Email Image...
Set As Desktop Background...
Inspect Accessibility Properties
Inspect Element (Q)
None of those is the one that I always used in the past. The only thing that has changed is that I accepted the latest update of Firefox last night. Could that be the problem? Do I need to go to a restore point and see if that fixes things? Any other ideas?
Your assistance would be very much appreciated. FReepers are the greatest!

I’m not a Firefox user, but looking at the options, I would try ‘Copy Image Location’ to see if that works.

It sounds like you got a browser update of some sort.
In theory, “Copy Image Location” should get your that URL.

I have experienced this as well.
“Copy Image Location...”
That seems to put the URL of the image into your cache and then you can Control-V it to the location where you need it

Yeah you’re hosed. You will need to re-install your operating system.

“Copy Image Location” is what you want. Then paste it into your html.

Four answers, and all helpful? No “Are you logged in?” “Is your Berber stuned?”

This pic scared/stuned me; looks to me like Barry O. dressed in Berber woman drag.

You could click view image and that will take you the image and it’s url will appear in address line. Copy that.

I did Copy Image Location. Yes, it does look like FireFox reworded the right click options.
