Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 185618

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Joel Meltzer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11

When I click on any of the pictures on this site, or right-click on them and select "view image," Firefox no longer displays the image in a separate tab.  Instead, I must first download the picture and then view it from my hard drive.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.postsecret.com
2. Right-click on any picture.
3. Select "view image".
Actual Results:  
Firefox made me download the picture first before viewing it.

Expected Results:  
View the picture from the internet and not force me to download it first.
