Why can't I save a gif animated from the internet on my computer?

Here is an example:
http://media.fukung.NET/images/5654/seriousheads.gif

I right click and select Save as, default file extension is .bmp (the same happens on Windows XP)

Then I type "seriousheads.gif" in the file name bar

However, this method does work with Windows XP. In Windows 7, I can use the photo viewer to see the first photo in the animated gif, but when I use IE8 to open the gif file, it appears as a dead link.

    For some reason any crazy when I try to save an image resized with a different dpi, PS6 says I saved.

    But if I'm going to re - open the same image, its in a different (but proportional) size and its original dpi.

  • I'm using firefox 9, why can't I save as image on google image?

    I'm using firefox 9, why can't I save as image on google image?

    Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open the Firefox 4, 5, 6, 7 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

    If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

    When find you what is causing that, please let us know. It might help others who have this problem.

    Why can't edit my contacts to search with the new ios 10.0.1

    It seems they have changed the way search works after the update. You can always edit contacts by opening the Contacts app, then open the contact you want to change. We do not know why they made the change, but unfortunately it is out of our reach. I don't know that they had a reason for this. If this is not the case, they will probably patch in an another mini update.
