Someone sent me this old photo and asked if I knew what kind of uniform this is.

Can you "Zero" in on the emblem of the fez? That might help.

Have you tried uploading it to Google to search there?

Poor quality image. Enlarging it just shows a larger blob of an emblem. He has a rifle, so it must be military, rather than a club of some kind.
Well then, it's your problem Jerry; I'm sure you can sort it out.

I've been working on making my life problem-free. That's why I posted this here.

I just received this enlargement. It has an E, and the family is from Ireland. It's too early for Elizabeth Regina.

Right, but I couldn't find any helmets with that emblem on it. they were all FF.
Irish Fusileers? Or am I just dumb?
The difficulty is that many made their own versions of the "uniform", often delineated by location or even clan.
Is there any further information with the photo, such as year or title?
Just a guess, it might be Zouave
Bloke
Loc: Waynesboro, Pennsylvania
Looking at the gun, it appears to be a musket, or at least a flintlock. This dates it better than the uniform does - many regiments in the British army wear ceremonial uniforms similar to this to this day... I took the attached in 1980, in Cardiff. This was my band, but I was released for this gig to take photos...
