The Right-click menu, Save Image As..., isn't saving anything.

Hello, this is regarding Firefox Desktop 131.0.3 x64.

Recently, my Right-Click menu for Save Image As... has stopped working. It shows that it's going to save the image (asks which directory you want to put it), but it never actually saves anything. I've tried numerous different sites, different file types, different download directories, without success.

It's not that the browser is suddenly incapable of handing image files. For instance, I can Copy Image, then paste it into my graphics program and it works as it should. I can directly download pictures; for instance, creating a Bing AI image then download it to my computer (rather than Save As), it it works correctly.

Microsoft Edge still functions correctly to save an image the way I'm trying to here, so I don't think that it's my computer. It's quite frustrating, as I love Firefox, but this really gets in the way.

You can see that it very interestingly doesn't save images without describing them as "canceled" in the Download (from Save Image As..) window.

My system stats: 

-Victus by HP Gaming Laptop 15-fa0xxx

- Windows 11 Home - 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12450H 2.00 GHz - 32.0 GB RAM - 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

I've seen a couple of similar threads here on the Forum (such as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1428087), but they are dated at this point, and don't explain how to implement the fixes at any rate.

Thank you very much for your assistance.
