Bug Description

DistroRelease: Ubuntu 6.10
Package: firefox 2.0+0dfsg-0ubuntu3

4 tabs were open including the mail client from yahoo.com, slashdot, and google. The fourth tab was loaded with the page http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/gallery/s2_05-06gallery/1024/ageofsteel.jpg
I right clicked and chose save image as. The border of the save dialog window was displayed, but never filled completely in. Firefox then crashed.

Trying to save this picture that I'd found through a google search. No other tabs, had zoomed in while it was loading, and then zoomed back out also before it had finnished. Tried saving after file was fully displayed, zoomed out. processor maxed for a few seconds, then program crash.

Same as first report. I had 5 or 6 tabs open. Right clicked on an image, selected "Save Image As..", outline of box opened and after a short period of time (I wasn't paying that close of attention, but maybe 10-15 seconds) Firefox crashed.
