Jpegs & Firefox
 

Greetings Everyone,
I just upgraded to the latest version of Firefox and I have a question about pics/jpegs. On the majority of sites I can click on a thumbnail and it opens up like normal and I can save it or close it (just like in IE). But on some sites, I get this annoying popup/process window (see below)

Firebird opens the pic in the Windows XP Picture and Fax Viewer. If I like the pic I can't save for there so I have to repeat the procedure all over again. My question is how do I get pics in Firebird just to open up in a normal window and bypass that window from the pic. Thanks for any help or suggestions you can offer.

1. Maybe the mime type is wrong from the site.
2. Check Tools->Options->Web Features
Make sure that "Load Images" is selected
Check if "for the originating Web site only" is checked. Uncheck it. Since it's a forum, I think that maybe the pic is a link on another site (i.e., not on celebrityfan).

Thanks for the info but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Load Images was checked and For the orginating Web site only was unchecked. I know the website, from the pic above, doesn't link you to other sites you have to upload the pics to their server (I am not sure if I can site plug here or not so I won't, yet?). Thanks though for the help. Anyone else?

You say you just updated. Did you uninstall the previous installation? Sometimes leftover stuff can cause problems.

Also, a new profile can often fix things. From a command prompt, type:
firefox.exe -Profilemanager

and start with a new profile, and see if the problem goes away. If so, you can transfer the following files to keep most of your configuration:

bookmarks.html
cookies.txt
cookperm.txt
formhistory.dat
history.dat
key3.db
signons.txt
