How do you save a picture from a Facebook page? I’m about to the point where I’ll just take a photo of it with my camera. There must be an easier way!

On my browser (Firefox 3.something) there’s a download link in the lower left. Next to “share” and “report this photo”.

If you’re using Chrome, right-click on the photo and “open in new tab” (first thing on the pop up box–this will prevent it from opening in that black background/slideshow thing FB photos now does), then right-click again and save the photo.

If you’re using Firefox, right-click and open the photo in new tab (second thing on the pop up box). Then right-click again and save image as.

If you’re using IE, God be with you.

There should be a link on the lower left to download the photo.
