Firefox Open File Dialog Box "which is a:" says "SQL File" with every file.
Ever since I installed PostgreSQL on my Windows 7 PC, all files from Firefox default as SQL or append a ".sql". For example: if I'm downloading a javascript file, the saved file is "jquery.js.sql" in the downloads directory. None of my other browsers do this, only firefox. I have done a full reset and uninstalled/reinstalled and this problem still persists. None of my plug ins are enabled and I have only firebug as an extension. How do I fix this problem?

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