For about a month now whenever I "save as" such as images(doesn't matter what type) or try "save page as" it will automatically add a ".rb" file extension to the original extension. So if the image is called "image.jpg" it will look like "image.jpg.rb" and its really starting to get aggravating to keep deleting the extra extension every time I want to save something. The only thing that doesnt do this are programs and zip files and such. I also tried "saving as" on other browsers and it doesn't affect those. Its only on Firefox. I have updated firefox a few time after this has happened and nothing helps.

Firefox v 10.0.2 Windows 7 64-bit

Nevermind, I just noticed what was causing it. I have Selenium IDE Add-On installed along with C#, Ruby, Python and Java formatters enabled. Once I disabled these, it stopped adding the extra file extensions.

This is resolved. Thank you.
