I'm also experiencing this bug on Android Firefox. It affects "Share Image" as well as "Save Image". I believe the underlying issue is bug 1690037, and the related bug 1812797 (also caused by Android Firefox sending a new request to download images without supplying all the same headers) was fixed specifically for Pixiv and other sites that require Referer headers to load images, without addressing the general case.

This is affecting me. From log inspection, I see that Firefox is sending a second request (rather than saving from cache) and is not including the user creds.
I have built a minimal test site for verification. The password prompt is supposed to tell you the username and password to use. Whichever Firefox I'm using on Android will show it, but some versions of Firefox will not (eg, whatever I'm using on desktop right now). Use "simple" / "password".
The html page has two small (under 4k) images, one of which will download and one of which will not. I'll keep this up at least a year or until the bug is fixed.
