I've got a weird problem with Firefox and Internet Explorer (on Windows, but Firefox on OS X has the same issue). Some images, like this one:

http://lh4.google.com/image/shifuima...IeU/Creek2.jpg

...won't open inside a web browser. Instead, it pops up the window one sees when downloading a file from the internet.

If I create an HTML file that links to the image using <img src="...">, it displays just fine.

Any ideas? It's not a terrible inconvenience, it's just weird.
For all the trash I talk, I sure own a lot of Macs...

Whether an image is downloaded or not depends on the MIME-type the image is sent with by the server. The admin of the server can set it up either way at will.
