Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I'm using Ubuntu Hardy Heron Beta with all updates (21-03-2008).
I was on this page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/22788467@N04/2308605907/sizes/o/
I rightclicked the largest version of this image to set it as my desktop background.

The set-background-dialog pops up, I adjust some settings and apply it.
The background will be set, however Firefox hangs and a little later shuts down.

Firefox does hang and then crashes as you send an image to the desktop background. Even with the crash though, the desktop wallpaper is set as intended approximately 10-15 seconds after the crash.

Is this still crashing or does it just not work? It does not work for me on Firefox 3.0.10 and Xfce 4.6.
