Firefox 32 hangs on "Save Image" dialogue box Windows 8.1..Tried everything
I clean installed windows 8.1.. then installed all latest drivers for my devices... installed latest Firefox..
Then i needed some images ..so opened Google image search and searched images..opened one image in a New Tab.. clicked "View Image" and tried saving it by right clicking and selecting "Save Image"..
First it took a lot of time for the "Save Image" window to appear.. and then it hanged...
I tried doing it again by force closing and re-opening firefox..but same thing happened even if the Image is small like 100X100 pixels.. Then I opened the mozilla support questions and tried the following solutions some other users have suggested; 1: Opened FIrefox in safe mode (Same thing happens) 2: Disabled addons (Only addons i had was flash downloader and downthemall! - Same thing happens) 3: Reset Firefox (No use) 4: Disabled Hardware Acceleration (No Use - In fact firefox hangs as soon as I "View Image") 4: reinstalled Firefox (No Use) 5: Uninstalled my ATI Radeon display drivers (No Use) 6: Disabled JAVA and Flash (No Use)
So this problem still persists....and its quite annoying Another thing I have noticed is when i try to save/download other files like mp3 or email attachment or pdf .. The window where it shows whether to Open or Save the file opens immediately..but takes around 15 seconds before I can actually Select and option and click Ok.

SOLVED - Atleast for Now....
So I think I have found the solution to this problem...
I reinstalled windows 8.1...
Then did 2 things.. 1: Disabled Skydrive from Group Policy Editor and selected Always save files to local drive. 2: Disabled Bing Search from local file search (Windows Key + C-> Settings->Search and Apps->Search)
Installed Firefox.. and Now I don't have the problem...
I am going to install java, Flash and Addons ..and check again if the same problem occurs again.. Will update what happens..
This Is definitely SOLVED:
Now I have installed some addons and Java and Flash.. and Firefox is working great..not giving me any problem with saving files.. Infact its working very fast...
So definitely Microsoft's integration of Skydrive and Bing for save and search were the culprits..
