Annoying Firefox problem
When right clicking an image within Firefox, it trys to save it as a webpage rather than an image. This has just started happening, any ideas?

What version of Firefox are you using and what OS are you running? Can you provide a link to a site where you've seen this.

Does the same for me.. seems to be scoobynet's and/or their "redirectingat.com" scheme that causes the problem

Does the same for me, just type in a different filename in such as "iraq.jpg" and it will save the image no problem.

Right click in the 'white space' on that page, then click "view page info " then click the "media " tab, then click save as.

What is the "helper" (is it
http://www.downloadhelper.net/)? This sounds like it could be the culprit!
Can you confirm what Add-ons you have installed - click "Tools" on the window top menu and choose "Add-ons".

That worked but Boomer got me thinking. It was one of the add-ons causing the problem. Download Helper needed setting up to save as jpeg automatically.

Good find! I also have that dhelper addon. So I added jpg and gif to. Now I can browse a banking website that I use to have issues on
