Try to open above image with Firefox. You'll see garbage.
Internet Explorer can open that image.
Probably, it's a bad JPG image that's not handled properly by Firefox.

The server is sending it as text/html.  Perhaps this is a server side error, not
client side.

Further proof is available by saving the image to disk, renaming it to
fairlane.jpg from fairlane.jpg.htm, and opening it within Firefox.  It opens
without problems.  

This, therefore, is definately a server-side problem.

Yep, no perhaps about it: Firefox does sniff content when it gets something that
looks like binary data, but is sent with the default "text/plain;
charset=iso-8859-1" header that means it's an untouched, unconfigured Apache
server, but if the server admin has gone to the effort to re-mis-configure it to
send something else (in this case, probably to add the HTML ad that's at the end
of every page, even globbed onto the end of that image), Firefox assumes it's
for a reason, and honors it.
