Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[carlsagan43]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071025 Firefox/2.0.0.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071025 Firefox/2.0.0.9

I have a php script that redirects users to images on my site so that I can keep track of view counts.  The script gives the user a HTTP 302 Redirect to the correct picture. 

However, after I get redirected to the picture, I right click on the picture and select "Save Image As..."

The name of the file that it tries to save is viewpic.php and the mime type is php script rather than "jpeg"  like it should be.  The file name should be "88-image.jpg".  The file name appears as such in the url box, but not when saving the image.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://jpgdump.com/viewpic.php?pic=88-image.jpg
2. Right click on picture  and select "Save image as"
3. Save image
Actual Results:  
Saves image as viewpic.php

Expected Results:  
Saved image as 88-image.jpg

This bug was originally reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.6 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
