You can always override the file extension when you save the file if it isn't the correct file extension.

You can try to inspect the MIME database with the registry editor (regedit.exe) and do a search for that MIME type (file extension) via Ctrl+F.
Be careful with editing the registry as there is no Undo possible: all changes are applied immediately.
You can export key(s) before making changes.
MIME Database : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type
i didn't understand what i have to do..what changes i have to make in regedit, currently i am using window 7 as my operating system.
It is best not to go to the registry if you are not familiar with editing the registry and keep it with adding the correct file extension.
so pls tell me what can i do. thanks 4 ur regular reply
Did you try to delete the file mimeTypes.rdf in the Firefox Profile Folder ?
