Always save .jpg file
When I download almost any type of file, Firefox nicely asks whether I would like to always save the file, or always open it with some program. But for .jpg files, it makes a blanket, hard-coded assumption that I do not want to preserve my choice. I cannot add .jpg to the list of actions in the preferences. The authors of the browser forcibly mandate that a .jpg download must go to a popup, and the user's preferred action cannot be maintained internally.
This is a mistake. I realize someone thought it was a very rational idea. it is not. This is a bug.
How can I work around this mistake in the Firefox design?

JPG files would normally be opened in a browser tab when send with an image content type like image/jpg or image/png that browsers can handle internally. If the image is send with another content type then this would likely be a generic content tpe like "application/octet-stream" or "content-disposition:attachment" what would trigger a download dialog and not an 'open with' dialog. An automatic download action can only be set for a valid MIME type and this would be hard for an image.

You appear to be using Firefox from the Fedora repositories, so you may need to switch to Firefox from the Mozilla server.
