All of a sudden I'm getting errors when I save jpeg or png files with Google Chrome on Ubuntu, then try to open them.
If I use Firefox, saving the images to Desktop and opening them is NOT a problem.
I've tried several different websites just to make sure it's not the website. I've also asked others to open it on their computers (with Ubunutu installed) and they said it opened fine (of course, I forgot to ask if they were using Chrome at the time).
Here is the error I get when trying to open the file:
Error interpreting JPEG image file (Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x52 0x49)
when I run the file
command on several different files form different sites:
file Verlag_Poster_Large_23.jpg
Verlag_Poster_Large_23.jpg: RIFF (little-endian) data
file R-2153295-1287083265.jpeg.jpg
R-2153295-1287083265.jpeg.jpg: RIFF (little-endian) data
file cover.jpg
cover.jpg: RIFF (little-endian) data
edit: Not 100% yet, but I think it was the Wappalyzer extension. I "reloaded" it and now it's fine but will keep it watched.

and paste the output in your question?df -h
and also tell me where are you downloading the files? On your home partition or on external hard drive? If it is home partition if you have an usb drive can you plug it in and try to download to it with "Save As" option. Thanks.
