Don't remember since when this issue cropped up, but am pretty sure it wasn't there right from the beginning... certain images are saved as html documents... no idea why... definitely not a web page issue... kinda random occurrence i feel... anyway the same image can easily be downloaded using the Get File extension and other similar download helpers...

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Right click image
2.Save Image As
3.Note file type is Firefox Document (html) and file name is 'url'
Actual Results:  
clicked on save and saved as an html doc...

Expected Results:  
file type should have been of image type (based on whatever type image it was) and the file shld have been saved as an img, not an html file...
