Why are image acting as downloads?

I am using C# ASP.NET. I generate user friendly image names and use rewrite to find the correct image name. Normally in firefox when i right click an image and hit view image i get the image in my browser. However these images are acting like downloads, why?

global.asax:
    void Application_BeginRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        lazy(Context, HttpContext.Current.Request);
    }
file.cs:
    void lazy(...)
    {
        ...
        context.RewritePath(sz);
        //sz = "/user/username/type/image.png"
    }

The mime-type of the image is probably being reset by the RewritePath call. If so, FireFox then thinks that the image is just a binary stream and doesn't know what to do with it so it just attempts to download it.

Likely because the correct MIME type is not being sent along with the image.
