Often, when I try to "save" (download) an image from the internet, Firfox will only allow me to save it as an HTML file. How can I change the setting to save images as a JPEG file?

This just happened yesterday that my Firefox stopped working. How can I restore the correct function? I am using a Laptop with Vista program.

You can rename such files with a .html file extension and give them a .jpg file extension to make applications see them as an image.
If Windows is stubborn and keeps the .html file extension and you end up with image.jpg.html then add quotes around the name ("image.jpg")
