I get no prompt, not that I feel I need one. It is a raster image editor
and it should just open the file as it is, regardless of hints.
and it is a landscape image, as it should be.
It is interesting that the previewer corrects the orientation..

That image is portrat in its native state, but in firefox is rotated
landscape, and BTW 180 degrees backwards from the original, as if it
was rotated twice, which it is when it is rotated correctly and then
the wrong hint tells firefox to rotate it again.
It is a GIMP problem. It makes the rotation but doesn't record it in
the exif

Um - that is not what it does
it is landscape.

My guess is your rotated image does not save any exif data
These are options on exporting, to save or not exif data
