It should be using the thumbnails.  In Best hit Ctrl-U to see the HTML
source and see where the file is being loaded from.  I just tried it on
a jpg in my homedir, and it worked for me:

<img src="file:///home/joe/.thumbnails/normal/1d3f9bf9ee36088bba59ec9f47c24033.png">

This is because Gecko doesn't support rendering of SVG.  It'd be good to
open a bug on this if there isn't one already.
