Why when I save a photo from photobucket, it's not a JPEG?

When I save a photo from photobucket, its "corrupted" half the time.
The other half the time it works.
Why?

It's still happening.
I just tried saving this picture by right clicking on it and saving the
image as 116-1645_IMG.jpg but it's corrupted every time.

No problem here; Mac OSX 10.10.3 & Safari. Right click - save as.

Sorry but this right click save just works for me...
Kubuntu 14.10 with FF34 including Ghostery, Flashblock, Adblock Plus and
Facebook Blocker.

As others pointed out the Download button also works.

Maybe you should temporarily rename your Firefox profile and try with a
fresh one.

You do use Firefox, right?

This is a puzzler for me.
Using the URL above, I get a page that (with a right click on the image)
offers only "Save Page As" and "Send Link"

The page offers some controls, to the right of the top of the image.
Clicking on the magnifying glass icon, I am transferred to
http://s40.photobucket.com/user/Jack...5_IMG.jpg.html
which is, apparently, the same page, but without the controls.

When I right click the image on /this/ page, I get "Save Image", "Save Image
As" and "View Image Info".

It appears to me that the ability to save the image from that page is
context sensitive.

FWIW, I use Firefox.

Weird, yes the magnifying glass gives a view with less clutter.
But on my computer the right click options are exactly the same full
gamut...

WFM -- both in Chrome and FireFox -- with and without Ghostery truned on
-- both right-clicking to [Save As] and/or [View Image].

I right-clicked and saved the image. (Windows/Firefox) The right-click
menu is *not* disabled. It may be disabled for certain users based on
OS or the presence or lack of other "features", but it is not blocked.

I agree.
I have no problem right clicking and saving a "file".
I'm using the standard Firefox 37.0 on Kubuntu.
It's easy to save it.
It saves just like any other JPEG would save.
It's just that the saved file is 'corrupt'.

Here's a picture of me doing a Save As,
using a relatively recent copy of Firefox.

I had to use movie screen capture to get this
picture, as regular timed screenshots kept jamming up.
The resulting picture is of poor quality.

http://i61.tinypic.com/2wok9b6.jpg

The information in the right of the photo, is to
show I got a real JPEG. It's a bit of hex editor
capture from the beginning of the downloaded file.

And I did notice, if I waited long enough, I might
be prevented from doing Save As. You gotta be
a Ninja with this stuff. Hy Yaa. And so on...

*******

And there is a Download button off on the right,
but that's only going to be there if the page
finished rendering properly. A function of
your browser version and javascript setting
(or blocker addons).

Naah! All you have to do is dump that Linux stuff and get yourself a
Mac or Windows machine. Perhaps just clan up what you have.

They seem to work just fine without the complications you are experiencing.

If someone were to post a similar comment in relation to OSX to this group,
it would be the start of a multi hundred post defence campaign led by you
and nospam. Your anti linux bias is ridiculous. As is, btw, your cross
posting hypocrisy.

They seem to work just fine without the complications you are

Whatever complications he is experiencing are self inflicted, nothing to do
with the OS on his computer.
