How to set FF 7.x/win to display images referenced by URL in a page?

When my colleagues using Internet Explorer 8 click on an "http://someserver/somepath/myImage.jpg"-ish link on our content servers, IE offers the associated image in an otherwise-blank page (and they can then drag the image into Office-2003 or -2010 Word). How do I configure Firefox 7 on Windows XP or Windows-7 to display images referenced by such links so that Firefox will display these images quickly & easily in a blank page?

I used HttpFox to determine that the image's mime-type was "image/unknown". Thanks for the great help!
