How was the jpg made?  What was the file name and are you sure you the
case the same?  Were the copies of IE and firefox both "clean"?  (That
is, no cache was in affect that could cause issues)?  What were the
sizes of the images?  How did you save the images?  There's a couple
of quirks with IE and jpg images apparently.

I'd try creating a webpage with just the image making sure that the
src matched the file path exactly.  If it doesn't appear, I'd start
looking for issues like...
http://drupal.org/node/297666 or to make sure the jpg was working correctly.

Providing direct links to the images and to the webpages might be a
bit helpful. It could be that there's an issue with some other part of
the html page that as a side-effect isn't displaying the image, but
then I would expect the gif file not to work.
