Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Hi all.
With some images, when I right-click on them and choose "save image as", Firefox does not recognise the file's name and type ; it suggests "url.htm" instead. I have not seen any pattern as to which images are affected ; not all are, only about 1/4, maybe 1/3, all of which have been .jpg so far. For instance, this happens with http://
It has no serious effect since typing "somefilename.jpg" instead of "url.htm" correctly saves the image. It's a bit annoying however.
I use Firefox 3.0.7, with Zotero, Adblock, and Flashblock, under Kubuntu "Hardy Heron".
Cheers !

Very strange. Now I no longer have any problem with the aforementioned image (I had checked several times and the bug WAS there when I posted), but some images still are problematic, for instance http:// www.treehugger. com/army_ squirrel. jpg
(see attachment)
But at the same time, some other images are not affected, like the one I posted earlier seems to be now, or this one http:// www.vi- r-us.com/ wp-content/ uploads/ 2007/01/ squirrel. jpg or http:// www.internet- grocer. net/squirrel2. jpg
But http:// www.sogoodblog. com/wp- content/ uploads/ 2008/01/ best-squirrel- shot.JPG for instance is bugged for me...
And the filename is correct in both the address bar and "element properties"...
Confusing. Is it, you know, a bug that moves ? With its little wings ? And an annoying "bzzzzzzz" sound ?
