Build ID: 20151216175450

Steps to reproduce:

It seems that Firefox cannot save SVG which exists as an embedded document as a separate image. I first discovered this by going to http://www.spatialillusions.com/unitgenerator.html and trying to save the large blue icon.


Actual results:

The browser does not show anything in the context menu to save the image. Add-ons like DownThemAll don't help either. The only way to extract it is to go into the web console, select the SVG document, copy it, and paste it into a text editor and save as an SVG file.


Expected results:

It should be trivial for the browser to determine that there is an SVG image underneath the cursor, and offer a "Save Image As..." in the same vein as "View Background Image". Even if the image is dynamically generated by scripts, the browser should simply save the DOM as it is at the time of the save action.
