Background image on my site not loading. Works in Chrome/Safari.

My website, www.youbrewyou.co, looks good on Safari and Chrome, but the homepage background image isn't loading on Firefox. The image itself just shows up as gray when I open it directly. Like I said, no issues in other browsers. Insight would be much apprecaited!

Firefox's web console shows:

Image corrupt or truncated. http://youbrewyou.co/images/homeHero2.jpg

It does seem to load in a stand-alone tab if you bypass the cache. (Mac: Command+Shift+r, Windows: Ctrl+Shift+r)

I suspect it's a problem with the image size reported by the server: it says

Content-Length: 2031616

which is the uncompressed size, but it is sending the image compressed down to about 1050276 bytes.

When Firefox gets a file smaller than the stated size, it stops rendering it. It doesn't decompress it and check again.

Likely this is a web server configuration issue, but not sure of the best fix.
