    JPEG Downloads as Fiefox file
    « on: May 09, 2011, 01:19:07 PM »
    When I download a JPEG image from the Net, whether from a Web site or E-Mail (Yahoo) it downloads as a Firefox file. Never used to do this? Any helpful suggestions please?
    This only happens in Firefox, downloads as JPEG in IE9.

    Using:
    Firefox 4.0.1
    Windows Home Premium
    COMODO Firewall
    AVIRA anti virus
    Spyware Blaster
    Win Patrol
