2.Right click picture of either NY skyline and select: Save image as:
3.watch the show

Actual Results:  
Firefox stops responding

Expected Results:  
Save image and surf on happily ever after.

continued working would be a start :)

Using the supplied URL I was not able to recreate the bug. I downloaded the pictures; both leaving the default name, and changing it.

Please clean up your downloads manager and try again.

I also noticed this behaviour on Firefox 2.0.0.1 on Kubuntu linux on amd64 platform (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; it; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20060601 Firefox/2.0.0.1 (Ubuntu-edgy)).

The problem is that the bugs is not easily reproducible as it appears sometimes, not always with the same image and after restoring the session the image is always saved correctly.
It usually appears after long sessions with a lot of tabs opened, also with small images.

When the behavior happened to me, Firefox suddenly closed, without properly crashing (so no trace is available...), apparently trying with no success to load the box in which you can choose image filename.

Unfortunately I cannot post any hint on how to reproduce it since after reopening firefox and recovering the session all seems to work correctly.

It never happened again neither in beta 4 nor in beta 5. but I've tried them for much smaller time than release 2.x.
