Images I download and save as a jpeg now end up being in a jfif format. This started a week ago and in order to change them to jpeg I have to use MS Paint to open and convert them. Very annoying.
I would appreciate assistance with this please. Thank you.

Some websites use the JFIF file format by default rather than JPG files
When you download a file in JFIF format, you do not need to convert it, because a JFIF file is a JPG, you only need to change the file extension from JFIF to JPG
