I own a DELL Inspiron 6000 laptop. It was pre-loaded with free trial software. One program was Corel Photo Album 6. I don't use the program and have uninstalled it. Mozilla always names JPEGs "Photo Album 6 Photo" as the file type. It doesn't seem to alter the functionality, but it drives me crazy that I can't fix it. Under Tools>Options>Applications>Content Type it reads "Photo Album 6 Photo (image/jpeg). There is no other "jpeg" listing. Please advise.

It's probably just using the name Windows is using as the system default for opening JPEGs. What if you set in Windows, another program as the default program to JPEG files?

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

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
