Try Camera Raw Preferences, under File Handling and enable JPEG support.

Besides, Erik's information, if you only want to open selected JPGs and TIFs on an as-needed basis, you can always right-click and select Open in Camera Raw.

Just be aware that ACR will not work for TIF images with layers. If you have a TIF image with layers you need to flatten the image first, and then Purge the cache for that folder from the Tools menu. Then you'll be in a good place.
