Description

Describe the bug:
a) When I make changes in the Photo Editor and want to save them, the editor hangs and does not save.
b) The problem does not occur with photos with small file size (e.g. 250 kb), but with photos with file size of e.g. 2.5 MB.
c) This problem occurs only in Firefox, but not e.g. in Chromium.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Photos -> Editor -> Adjust -> Save

Expected behavior:
that the changes will be saved.

Describe alternatives you've considered
When I use Chromium instead of Firefox, the problem does not occur.

Desktop:
NC Hub 3, 25.02 (hosted), Photos, Version 2.0.1.,
Firefox 107.0.1 (64-Bit)
Windows 10Pro 21H2
Chromium Version 105.0.5195.54 (Official Build) (64-Bit)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure through Photos → Editor → Adjust → Save in Firefox with a large photo, then compare the same flow in Chromium and with a small file. Done means edited photos save successfully in Firefox for the reported large-file case without regressing the working cases.
