Opening many images in differnt tabs and saving them by the "save image as..."
dialog works until the last 2 or three tabs. Then the folder window does not
aperear any more. You have to minimize the window or change to another
application an then come back. Then it works again.
In the same situation the ctrl+c doesn't work either. Nothing is copied to the
clippoard.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open many images in different tabs
2.Save them by "Save image as..." and close the tab
3.When only 2 or three tabs are left nothing happens on clicking the "save image
as..."
4 Minimize Browserwindow
5 Maximize Window
6 Continue saving.
7 Thats it.

Actual Results:  
you can't save images

Expected Results:  
it should save images

Can you open the URL about:config, look for the preference
javascript.options.showInConsole and then double-click to set this to true? Now
open the JavaScript Console in the Tools menu and repeat the steps. Do any
errors in the JS Console appear when doing "save image as..." in the last 2-3
tabs that don't work? Do you have any extensions installed?

Most likely this is a dupe of bug 159107. Try changing the download setting in
the privacy section to clear upon completion.

If this fixes the problem then it is a dupe of 159107, please make a comment in
the bug either way.

It seem that the hint of Kevin works. I had the settings on "when FF exits". I
changed it to "upon completion".
Now it seems to work correctly.

Thanks
