how to see all image file types when saving images without selecting "all files"

more options

Hallo, and thank you fom reading.

I am a person who saves a lot of images online in different folders with different names like G - 456 or F - 35. I have been using firefox 10.0.2 for a long time because of a bug (I guess) that made it easier to save images. When I saved an image it would always show me all the image files in any folder I wanted to save it, and that way making it easier for me to save files with the right names. Now with the newer firefox (currently 19.0) whenever I try to save a JPEG I only see the JPEG files in the folder and only way to see the others is by selecting "save as type" all files, but with this I also see all the files that are not images. This used to save me a lot of trouble and a bit of time but I dont see anything in the options menu that can help me. Is there a way to recreate this function?

Thank you for your time.

I suspect this is a Windows problem. I am surmising the FilePicker uses the Operating System or Desktop facilities. Does Windows 7 offer any other file categories like images ?

I do not normally use Windows 7, but may the option depend upon the directory being an indexed one, I ask after finding this thread Bring File types tab back http://www.windows7taskforce.com/view/819


This question is a duplicate of /questions/951764

Normally I would lock the duplicate question, but in this instance I will leave it open as it is unanswered and someone may give a better reply.

Is this about JPG files or JPEG(2000) files?

Are you sure that there isn't a space character appended to the JPG/JPEG file extension?

this is about regular JPG/JPEG/PNG and other image files with the exception of GIF and there is no space character appended to the jpg/jpeg files. Oh and I seem to have double posted this question (/questions/951764), i'm sorry for that. But thank you for the reply.
