Yes it can, I've saved tons of pictures... why do you think it can't?
Personally, I've switched to a plain old .tar.gz extracted in a folder to fix Canonical's snap obsession because Snap'd Firefox doesn't play nice with some debuggers I was using. Same with Chromium; quite a pain.
Had similar problems before, so I guessed it was some snap bullshit. This page seemed to confirm it https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1290489
Followed the instructions here https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install-firefox-d... , and then it worked as normal.
