When saving pictures firefox automatically tries to save them as 'preview' files, instead of .jpg, .png, .gif etc

This issue is not repeated in other browsers, and was not an issue on my old Toshiba laptop which I switched from a couple weeks ago. This problem has been here since I started using a Mac computer (It's a new mac, up to date with the software etc)

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

That does add a .jpg to the end of the file automatically, but that's not what I was looking for...

But It does seem to have solved enough of something that I can make this work. Thanks.
