iOS versions of the app allow you to download the image by pressing and holding the screen which activates a task menu. Articles/blog posts advise visiting facebook.com on your android browser but that requires re-navigating to the image. Without this simple functionality I've resorted to a two step "hack" in order to download pictures to my gallery:
- Share each picture to Dropbox
- Export from Dropbox to gallery
I first discovered this when trying to update my foursquare profile with my facebook image but couldn't make the direct connection. I started with uploading the photo to Drive but foursquare can't access it and you can't download from Drive to the gallery...really Google? That left uploading from Drive to Dropbox (can be skipped by uploading directly to Dropbox) where you can download to the gallery.
There ultimately is a simpler solution as Ifttt can automate both of theses processes but would download all of my pictures (not necessary) and would always update my foursquare image (certainly don't want that at this time). I know I know...#1stworldproblems but it's still a pain with a simple fix.
Note: Fbook is up to date running version 2.1
