Save image as… using alt text in Firefox

Question

I'm saving images on different pages, and I'd prefer to use the alt text associated to the images as file names instead of the default file name (which doesn't mean anything at times.)

So how do I "Save image as…" alt text.ext automatically?

Answer 1

Right click on the image, and click view image info.

Select the text and copy it. Now click on Save AS, paste in the name and click Save.

This of course assumes that there is alt text present.

Answer 2

I know you're using firefox but I couldn't find one that'd work very well. There's an extension for chrome called Pendule. Among other features, it has the ability to show the text of the alt text, there's also a more detailed features that grabs all images on one pages and displays information about each image. Check out the pics and see if it's something that'd work for what you want. I know it's not firefox, but it's a solution that'd be quicker than mousing over each image for instance.
