Firefox (Ubuntu) : save an image

Solved

Hello,

On Windows, with Firefox, to save an image, I simply drag and drop (I "take" the image from a website and drop it into my folder on my PC and it works).

But on Ubuntu, with Firefox, it saves a shortcut (a link with the image URL).
How can I make it download the image like it does on Windows?

Thanks

PS: of course there's the annoying, time-consuming possibility (to which one can give a whole bunch of pejorative adjectives), the right-click and "save image as," but that's not what I'm asking for ;)

    I found it, you need to press the CTRL key and then drag and drop (while continuing to hold down CTRL) and release. You will have your image saved ;-))

      A ok, thank you very much!!
      It works with "CRTL"!

      It was actually quite simple, but you had to know it ^^
      There's no need to use "CRTL" with Windows ;)

      Thank you very much!
