Firefox's handling of PNG troubles

[Salty Wagyu]

Hello, if people could check for me for e.g. this icon image file on Rocketdock's site: http://rocketdock.com/addons/icons/1648 Do you find any difficulties in trying to save the image when clicking Download File?

Once its clicked it directly links to the PNG and displays it in browser just fine, but when you try to save the image (or "Save Link As.." on Download File) both methods wants to save it as a html file. On further investigating this I found the html download was in fact binary so I renamed the extension to png to fix this. But is there any way to change the behaviour of this? The Download Actions menu in Options> Content> Manage seems somewhat empty for anything related to PNG or other image formats with no way to add any new ones (perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place?).

Thanks.

Working fine for me I am on Firefox 2.0.0.14

It works fine, but I've had similar troubles with PNGs in Firefox. I'm using Firefox 3 Beta 5

This is a bug which has been in for a long time (Neowin exposes it when you click on the full size links for resized, hosted images)

Instead of right clicking on the image, right click on the background and select "Save Page As", It'll get the right file extension then.

Sadly this bug still exists in Firefox 3 Beta 5. :(

Yup, that seems to work good to save the png file. Thanks

To the other posters, you're not being very clear on "it works fine here". Sure the png shows fine in firefox but that's not what I'm asking. :)

About the "works fine here" people, I think it's a pretty clear message they're sending. Any combination of clicking to save the image results in a png file being saved. AKA it works fine and others don't have the problem.

I can't duplicate the OP's problem.

[edit]Nevermind. I duplicated it. fx3b5

Yeah, that's weird

Yup, I get this bug a lot and unfortunately, it still happens in FFb5.

We need a fix for this. :yes:
