Firefox right click and save image does not work?

I had updated to the latest version of Firefox (v. 7.0.1) and had tried to use the old pop up shortcut of saving an image from the web. That is by right clicking on the image and then select "Save image as..." shortcut. It would show as if it had saved the image (with the download window appearing), but after saving and trying to locate the file/image on the disk, the file/image is no where to be found. The saving of the image can be seen on the download window but could not be opened using it either. Also the second option on right clicking the downloaded image on the download window i.e. "Open containing folder..." does not open the folder and appears to be dim which only means that the file had not been save on the folder where it should have been saved.

I thought it was my AVG antivirus that was preventing the saving of the image but I had tried to "Temporary disable its protection but the image would still not be save.

Thank you
