Why does Firefox prompt me to save/open image files that are above a certain file size rather than simply display the image in its tab?

I Uploaded several jpg images to GitHub of various file-sizes using a command line tool called Upgit:

Image 5: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/futuremotiondev/general-storage/refs/heads/main/WallpapersTest3/andre-benz-cXU6tNxhub0-unsplash.jpg

Notice that if you open image 5, it prompts to save it or open it in an external application (or just downloads it, depending on your download settings). All the other images just simply load and appear in their tabs.

Is there a configuration setting in about:config that determines the file size threshold for this behavior?

Try it yourself: Open image 5. It will prompt you or download the image automatically whereas the other images just display in tabs.

How can I disable this behavior?

Any help greatly appreciated.

I wanted to find information on my question, so I visited a website, and some file named CcRNEMIH.htm was downloaded (with a Firefox icon). I deleted it, scanned my computer, and found nothing. Then I visited the website again, and nothing else was downloaded. Then I checked my downloads folder and saw that under the file name, there was a resource called moz-safe-about. What could it have been?

Hi,

My application has recently been incorrectly flagged as dangerous by Firefox when downloading from https://librelancer.net/downloads.html, particularly when downloading https://librelancer.net/builds/librelancer-sdk-daily-win64.zip

Checking the URL at google safebrowsing https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing seems to show a clean report.

Is there a way of submitting the file as a false positive, as it is affecting my users.
