So i have been having this issue where whenever i download a jar file it saves it as a Firefox file. After it saves it as a Firefox file i can no longer use it if i open it it just puts the file location in my web browser. Can anyone help me figure out how to change jar files from saving as a Firefox file and make them save as just a normal .Jar file

Does it help if you set Firefox to always ask you where to save downloads? That allows editing the file name before saving. This is on the Options/Preferences page:

Does it help if you set Windows to always show all file extensions? Tips on that here if needed:
