This definitely works in Firefox 19 on OS X; I wonder when it got fixed.

Comment 2

[zephred]

The image loads fine after re-starting firefox (with many many open tabs, and only 2GB of RAM).

Comment 3

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

It's possible that it's address space exhaustion leading to image decoding bailing out, but the error message is definitely not very useful (and not even close to the truth)

Comment 4

[Seth Fowler [:seth] [:s2h]]

I can't reproduce this. If anyone can, please reopen.

If the only remaining problem is the misleading error message and we want to fix that, that's fine, but that's a separate bug in my view.
