Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Lathrop Preston]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.6.1

When I attempt to save _any_ image to disk, (ie the header banner on slashdot
for example) the save dialog pops up just fine and everything seems ok until I
click SAVE then the browser goes non responsive and I have to force quit.
This happens both when save via right click on image and when viewing image
directly and save page as.
Does not occur on co-worker's computer (Win 2000/same Firefox build)


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to http://slashdot.org/
2.right click on site banner
3.select save image from context menu
4.use save dialog to save image

Actual Results:  
Browser waits a second. Save dialog clears leaving un-redrawn section of screen
behind and browser hangs.

Expected Results:  
Image should save safely and I continue with browsing experience.


I discovered this saving a photo off my brother's web photogallery it happens

0.61 is pretty old.  Please reopen this bug if you can reproduce it on a more
recent release.
