Can't select photo on flickr

When I long press to save a photo on flickr, instead of selecting the photo, it selects first word of text on page (see http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrick-smith-photography/5497837887/sizes/o/). These are photos that allow download. Long press on Dolphin will save it. There is option to click link to download, but I'm hoping in future that Firefox brings up dialogue box whenever anything is downloaded, so I can name file and choose download location, instead of having to go find file, rename and move. But first it has to know you're selecting photo. I don't really care if it works in Dolphin. I use a lot of design & photo sites that use flash on opening pages & have no mobile version (or app just for iOS). So would really appreciate if Firefox could know that I'm trying to save a photo and not text, and at some point let me manage download at that point, instead of later in file manager.

Thanks. Updating brought back save. Still wish they would have dialogue box for naming file and choosing download location like Dolphin. However, I miss flash in Dolphin far more than a dialogue box here :-).
