When I save images from Firefox, they can't be used as background images!

Hi! I have a small problem with Firefox that bothers me. I run on a Mac OS X Snow Leopard. When I see an image that I like, I right click and choose "Save Image". I store it in my Pictures folder. When I go to the manager that helps me choose a background, the picture isn't available to use! But when I save a picture in Safari, it is there for me to choose. Why does this happen? Thank you!

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Does that image has the correct file extension (.jpg) ? Can you open the image in a picture viewer?
