Right click/control click the image. 'copy image'. Then paste into a new photoshop document.

hi natobasso, thnx for anwser.
also I can drag photo to safari, and drag it from safari to PS, but thats all is only substitute for what I need, and dont know why doesn't work, for now, I'm using 'drag to desktop and drag to ps' it's almost faster than example you give.
osx is drag'n'drop powered :D so I dont know why doesn't work, and on Win it does?

thanx

For some reason you can drag the image to the tab bar and it will isolate it, then drag that image to ps. Works on pc, probably does the same on mac. Here's an article to back that up:

Not sure why -- must be the way firefox handles images.

I can drag photo from firefox to desktop, mail.app but not in PS.
I can drag photo from safari, desktop whatever in PS. don't know who is making problems, PS or firefox, I was searchin in about:config of firefox but can fin variable that protect's draging..

I was searching, strage, but no one is complaining about that "bug"?

Type this into an empty firefox window and you can search through all of its extensions. I haven't found the right one yet for image handling, but this article might shed some light:
