firefox issues

well first off does anyone here use firefox as oppose to safari? I use it mostly because it displays websites such as livejournal much better, and for it's password remembering and spell checking. I have however encountered a problem using it. For some reason when I try to open attachments from an earthlink mail message (particularly jpg images), I have been getting a message saying the file is a "binary file" and it can't open the files once I've saved them. I know for a fact that files are simple jpg images since i've done some test runs with sending emails to myself and also they download fine on safari.

I was just wondering if this happened to anyone else and if anyone knows why it's happening? I supposed I can just use safari whenever I want to open attachment files, but it really would be nice to be consistent with one browser.
 
I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.1 on the Mac and haven't experienced this problem. I just switched from Earthlink recently and during that time I've never seen that problem. Are you using the latest version of Firefox, btw?
