In a Google image search, I am unable to save certain images via the preview, while others I can save from the preview.
For the ones that don't save, when I right-click the preview and select Save Image As, I can select the destination folder and click Save, yet the image doesn't save and the download is marked as failed in my Firefox browser. I have to click Retry Download to save these images. If I directly view the images I save all of them successfully the first time.
Examples:
This does not save:
Image preview doesn't save
This does save:
Image preview saves
This started happening today, and again, only for certain image previews. I tried a different computer with an out of date Ubuntu installed and all images save normally there, so it might be specific to my system.

This issue is completely reproducible and it happens because the original 2338 × 3382 image is too large to be presented as a thumbnail image, so it is rendered by Firefox on the fly as a scaled down image instead which Firefox cannot save. To save this image, right-click the image and from the pop-up context menu select View Image. Then right-click the image obtained by View Image and select Save Image As... to save the image. This will save a huge image with tiny writing on it which is clearly readable in the saved image.
