Direct linking to images causes download instead of display
I'm having trouble with lots of image types. If I follow a link to an image, or choose "view image" from the context menu, the picture will only display if it has certain extensions, like .jpg or .png. Otherwise, like when I try it on a .gif, .jpeg, or .bmp I'm given the option to open or save the file, like a standard download. I know these image types can be displayed in Firefox, I have no trouble when they're embedded in a page. But direct linking to them only lets me download.
