I've never had this problem before and I don't think that I have downloaded anything that would affect this issue. I do have the Download Manager Tweak 0.9.2 installed.

Hi sharonT42, Try disabling that add-on, if the problem still occurs you might want to check your computer for malware. Please take a look here: Is my Firefox problem a result of malware .

You may also need to delete mimeTypes.rdf in the Profile Folder

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Resetting_download_actions

Ok-I have done the following: in this order 1) scanned for viriuses with MSE & SPYBOT 2) disabled DOWNLOAD MANAGER 3) searched in Download Applications where .JPG is not listed but PICT file is (should I assume that it's the same thing?) with QUICKTIME as app. 4) deleted MIME TYPE.rdf in the Profile Folder 5) went to "about:config to reset 2 items suggested in Firefox Troubleshoot, but they were not listed. I need more suggestions PLEASE! Thanks.
