I have done it many times without issue. Try an experiment. Find a picture, and place it on your desktop.

Warning! Some pictures are also links.

Right click the picture and select Save Image As.

Say What ? ! ? !

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;

Type about:preferences in the address bar and press enter

Select Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

Then restart.
