As far as I know no functionality has been removed, at least not
recently. Rather a request to add functionality has been declined.
I assume you are referring to the fact that at one point it was possible
to access this via the browser's context menu but the recent addition of
our own context menu has not changed that in any way and you can still
access that menu by holding down shift.
Rather what happened is that at some point (most likely in the 1.0.0
release about six months ago) leaflet started marking tile images with a
CSS attribute that stops the browser offering image options for them in
the default context menu.
I would quite likely accept a patch to override that CSS setting and
restore access to the image options in the browser menu but I still do
not think we should add such an option to our context menu which is
inherently targeted at a more average level of user.
