Can't save images as jpg, jpeg, bmp, etc. only as Preview Document or All Files.
I'm running Firefox 27.0 on OSX 10.9. When I try to save an image from a website I'm only given the option to save the file as a Preview Document or All Files. I cannot save the image as it exists on the website (ie. jpg, jpeg, gif.) Right now I'm saving as a Preview Document, opening that in preview and then exporting the file as an image. I'd like to just save the file directly from a website as an image rather than a Preview Document. How do I do this?

Can't you give the file the correct file extension for that image (e.g. .jpg) when you save the file?
Try to rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.
This did not work. I deleted mimeTypes.rdf, and re-started firefox. I immediately did a google search for an image and tried to save it. Again, when I click on "Save image as" the only file types I have to choose from are Preview Document or All Files. Any other ideas?
