I generate JPGs on my server and send them to clients on an intranet (using http://, not file://). Smaller images work just fine. Large images do not using Firefox, even when trying to view the images by themselves in a new tab. Those same images work perfectly fine in IE 8, Chome v22, and Safari 5.

I tried the suggestions here to no avail: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-problems-images-not-show?as=aaq

Similar problem found here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/795933?as=aaq

Not sure which attribute might trigger the issues, but I know: 

 - 901 x 27928 resolution 3.93 MB picture will load
 - 904 x 32767 resolution 4.77 MB picture won't load

Looks like the image file is uncorrupted because I can click to view the image in FF, right-click to 'View image info', click 'Save As...' for the image, and save it to my desktop. Opens up just fine in Windows. Seems to be a bug in the way Firefox is attempting to display it...

There may be issues on the Windows platform with DIV containers that are larger than 32768 (16 bit boundary).
I'm not sure if they can cause your issue.

Does this also happen with only that single image (right-click: View Image) and in Tools > Page Info > Media ?

Do you have a link to such a large image that isn't working?

Wow! Thanks for the quick reply!

I would think the first point you made would apply to other browsers if that were true. As I mentioned, the images work fine in every other major browser.

Yes, FF has the issue whether displaying in a page or viewing by itself.

I posted an example image on on image shack.

That image displays fine for me in Firefox on Linux, but I'm not seeing anything in a Windows Firefox version that runs under Wine. Even the Tools > Page Info > Media preview panel is blank there, but saving the image is possible.
