Well, after I finally got my Firefox working "right" after a certain issue (it wouldn't save my history and I couldn't stop it from erasing said history), only to see that no images will open within Firefox. That is, whenever I click onto an image, the download dialog box will appear instead of it opening within Firefox. I tried a tip telling Firefox to open with "firefox.exe", but that makes no difference: it'll open in a new tab with the "downloads" box appearing, and even if I choose to always do this, the download dialog appears the next time I open an image (even the exact same image).
Why? Does anyone know what to do? Thanks in advance!

Also, this is nowhere near as important, but: does anyone know how to add to history in Firefox? If possible, I'd like to do this by using a .txt file.

EDIT: Oddly, this problem's no longer existant, but a more serious problem has returned, but I believe that warrants another thread. Please close this thread.

If you go to Tools, Options, and click on the Content button, is Load images automatically checked?

Yes, it is. However, after I restored my profile, it seems this problem has gone away, it's quite odd.
