i'm using the latest mac OS on a mac book pro and I installed FF19.0 now when I attempt to open a .jpg file from my group on yahoo it keeps asking me which program I want to use. I checked the block to always use Preview but no matter what I do it always ask again and brings up the block. Very annoying.

Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
