How can I save a picture that shows as a "Firefox Document" type as a jpg so that I can see the picture and not the code?
Many times, when I find a picture on Firefox, I want to save it to a file, but I'm offered the options of saving as a "Firefox Document" or "all files." Whatever I pick, when I try to open the picture, I only find code not the picture.

You are trying to download what you think is a picture, but are really code appearing as pictures on the page you are viewing. This is often done to protect the copywrite of the picture. If you right click the picture in question and the dialog box includes Save Image As then it is a picture you can download.
I was able to right click the pic, choose the "view" option, then under file "save this page", this gave me the jpeg option and it was the only way I could make it work. Tedious I know but at least I got to save the pics. Hope this helps!
You could also do a screen capture.
You can rename the image and give the file .jpg file extension if Firefox doesn't offer that choice to see if that gives you a valid image. You can also save images via Tools > Page Info > Media
