## Review summary

The 'image-save' Firefox add-on is praised for its simplicity and easy right-click functionality to save Instagram images with minimal permissions. However, several users report that it has stopped working recently or the download button disappears. Additionally, it only saves the visible image at lower resolutions rather than the original high-quality image. Missing usernames in saved file names is another noted drawback. Overall, while it serves its purpose well when functioning, issues with reliability and image quality affect user experience.

- Works with minimal and appropriate permissions (only instagram.com).

### Cons

- No longer works or stopped functioning correctly in recent updates.

- Missing username in file names after saving images, which some users miss.
- Instagram interface changes sometimes cause the download button to disappear.
