Firefox tries saving all JPEG files as .jif.
For the past few days, my browser has started trying to save all JPEG files, regardless of their actual fire extension, as .jif. (see attached photo) I have not changed anything that should have done that, and cannot seem to change it back. Any help would be much appreciated!

Turns out it was a Windows Registry issue, I fixed it through there.

So if you change it to .jpg, download it, and repeat the process and what option is there?

Still .jif is the default. If I rename it to .jpg when downloading it works fine, even changing the extension after downloading works. But .jif doesn't show thumbnails and messes with a few search strings I use, and I'd rather not have to rename every image I download.

Can you go into the registry and verify this key and that Extension value is .jpg?

Mee too it's by default in jif : https://i.imgur.com/PT1cKrg.png regedit:https://i.imgur.com/HXXas6r.png
I had the same problem, .jpg images were saved as .jpeg - not a common extension. I changed the extension in the registry from .jpeg to .jpg Now I am unsure if I can open .jpeg, but every time I can associate it with a viewer. The issue can be related to the alphabetic order, because .jfi and .jpeg are above .jpg and the first option is selected.
Hi Abrimaal
Did you check the image/jpg key as that is more likely the related MIME type send for a JPG image ? To what key in the MIME\Database is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg linked ?
What is the file extension linked under image/jif
It is probably best to leave image/jpeg as .jpeg as that can be a different format.
No I didn't check. If the first solution is working, why looking for other. Even if I find a single file with .jpeg extension on my PC, I can send it to a viewer and change extension while opening.
