Ok so I tried it with a random gif file (http://pds- rings.seti.org/saturn/images/ring_sat.gif) and renamed it to .png and tried again, locally on my pc and not through a web server. and was unable to reproduce the issue. Firefox is correctly able to load the image use the File Open dialogue as well as through an html file using the img tag.
Therefore, whatever is causing that to work is due to the data of that particular image. -- [MASTER] various unrelated crashes for firefox-3.0 and xulrunner-1.9 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228806 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
