I uploaded a jpeg to a website but when I try to download it, Firefox thinks it's a document. Safari and Chrome know it's an image.

I uploaded some jpegs to a website (EuphoricFX.org) but one of them refuses to download correctly. Firefox thinks it's a document when it's a jpeg (the file name is correct). Everything else on the site downloads correctly.

The weird thing is Chrome and Safari treat the image as a jpeg. Only Firefox doesn't.

That is likely a problem with the server configuration that doesn't recognize the .jpeg file extension and thus sends it as text/plain and this will make Firefox display the image as text in as tab.

Easiest is probably to change the file extension of the images to .jpg
