That’s strange, I was able to save that image on firefox/linux with no problems. I suggest you post that bug on a firefox forum and see what comes back.

I have to use taskmanager to kill it, to get out of firefox. I loaded firefox 3.5.3 a few days. I was having adobe flash issues before that, when playing yoville, uninstalled and reinstall flash, which seems to have worked, then firefox 3.5.3 started running slow. I went to firefox safe mode, to see if it was one of my add0n that was slowing firefox down. Now, I have the above right click issue. I started Explorer to see I could save an image there, and it did work as normal, save image to my image files. I when to control panel and uninstalled firefox 3.5.3, then reinstalled it, with no luck in being able to click save without firefox/xpwin locking up / freezing....aaaah I'm a sad boy :O( Here is the page with the image I was trying to "save as". I went to other places to try saving, but still locked up / froze. (Any ideas will be truly appreciated). ahki <strong>I haven't got that problem before and am not sure if I can reproduce that error on a firefox/linux combo. I am in windowless environment unfortunately. You can google up the problem and if anyone else has the same issue, there's usually a workaround mentioned.</strong> Hi,

When I right click an image, save image as, click save, the “save image” window locks up / freezes. I have to use taskmanager to kill it, to get out of firefox. I loaded firefox 3.5.3 a few days.

I haven’t got that problem before and am not sure if I can reproduce that error on a firefox/linux combo. I am in windowless environment unfortunately. You can google up the problem and if anyone else has the same issue, there’s usually a workaround mentioned.

Even though the Yahoo toolbar was not active, it WAS in her extensions. After disabling it and restarting Firefox, the problem was gone. Hope this helps some other people having the same issue.

On my old slow computer it's especially annoying because when it randomly opens Evolution/bookmarks the site/saves the page as html it takes ages! Clicking away from any links on a blank part of the page temporarily solve it but only for a few more right clicks then you're back to the same random annoyingness. Just installing Redox now. I really hope it works!!!!!! Cheers for the advice, James. jameswestwood.me <strong>I hope it works for you too. </strong>:) I have been having this problem for a while now – exactly as you describe.

I have also had a move severe one. Sometimes Firefox just likes to be extremely slow, like dial-up slow. It is very annoying and I have to restart to computer to fix the issue. <strong>I've not had that problem with Firefox 3.

I’ve not had that problem with Firefox 3. It sounds like the really bad memory leaks I used to have at one time.
