When I try to save a picture from my yahoo (or any other web based email), FF wants to save it as a "FireFox" document. The drop down offers no other choices.

The only way I can save as a .jpg )or other format) is by using IE. Anyone know how I can tweak FF to save as the original format the document was sent in?

??? or you right clicking on the image and then clicking on the save image as option ????

How else would you save it? :confused:

Had to ask :whistle:

Next question Tools > options > applications > jpeg image set to always ask
Next line down jpeg/pjpeg set to save file ???

Don't have those lines under applications

Actually it does it when I'm trying to save a picture imbedded in an email.

I don't know what to tell you If you don't have the options to tell firefox what to do with individual files.





1. Firefox 3.0 or above (what I use)
2. Firefox in safe mode
3. One or more Firewalls or Virus protection blocking application

Good Luck

I have FF 3.0.14 (I had upgraded but lost my Norton password program, so I downloaded the previous version again until they rid of it completely). With that said, all pages, pics, docs, etc download to a central FF download box. For security reasons. You should just be able to open your "Downloads" folder and find everything. :shrug:

Should but my Download folder stays empty, I direct all downloads (programs) to My Documents. The Applications allows me to direct FF what to do with individual types of files.

My bad. I do the same - direct where I want a file, etc, to go - however it goes through a centralized secured download location first.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
