Mozilla doesn't do this any more (except for some builds). It 
displays the download window for a couple of seconds which makes it 
look like the image is downloading again, but it's not.

In Safari, dragging the image off the browser does download it again. 
If you check the Downloads window, or any throughput monitor, you'll 
see. I suppose those with broadband won't notice these things;-)
