When I go to a site with a lot of pictures and I go back and forth from
thumbnail images screen to viewing and saving the images FireFox eventually
allways freezes on saving an image. I may be able to save 10,20,30 pictures
before it happens, but on this laptop (ACER 1356LCi) it seems to happen every time.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.View and save a lot of pictures (JPEG)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
FireFox becomes unresponsive and takes a very long time to [forced] close.

Expected Results:  
Save the image

Safe mode doesn't seem to make any difference. It still hangs.

Additional information:filesystem is type FAT32.
