Trouble saving images when viewing directly
I've noticed recently that, when trying to save an image I am looking at after using "View Image," what tends to happen is that the download "starts," but no progress is made and the image won't be downloaded unless I were to close Firefox and restart it, at which point the image would then download and be saved to my computer.
Canceling the download does not work-that is, it can be canceled, but Firefox will still think it is downloading, as indicated by the prompt that appears if I attempt to close Firefox in this fashion.
I thought this was limited to Tumblr, but it seems to happen on other sites such as Pixiv and typically when I choose to view the image directly and then attempt to save it-saving an image loaded onto an existing page produces no problems, it seems. This does not affect all such images, however, but I am unsure what the criteria are for reproducing this.
Another issue related to this is that sometimes, if I restart Firefox to download any images I "queue" in this manner, they end up producing 162-byte image files that Windows Image Viewer naturally can't quite read.

I have possibly stumbled onto something:
If I view the image's info before using "View Image," the info appears normal, but if I view the image, then all image info besides the URL is gone.
Make sure that your security software isn't blocking the images

I do not have any plugins or anything for saving images outside of Firefox's native "Save Image As" feature.
As for those articles:
- Download history size doesn't seem to matter
- The folders should be fine, no need to switch to a different folder
- Don't think I should try a reset just yet...
- Changing file type settings might work, but I think that's only for if I'm downloading an image from, say, a link versus the Save-As I tend to use.
- As mentioned above, no plugins are being used to my knowledge
- Haven't checked my anti-virus, but I doubt that's the issue
I think my problem seems to be highly unique.
I have the same exact problem - when I cut n paste the pics URL into Internet Explorer it can be saved just fine...
This problem seems to have gone away for me, but I think I'd like to leave this question up for the time being since others have similar problems.
Scratch that, it might pop up from time to time.
