How did the Jews treat gentiles in the time of jesus?

The role of the gentiles was a pretty messed up job. From my research, THey were basically pedophiles, Jesus did not like their role and personally, I don't think anyone nowadays would either.

Its most likely that because the Jews and Gentiles would of ignored Jesus when he claimed to be the son of God and to be the messiah so in other words, Jesus was fed up of preaching to them. Jesus told Paul the apostle to preach unto the Gentiles and Jews because to tell them "the good news". yes, Jesus contradicted himself.

Why only in the New Testament the salvation was extended to the gentiles?

God has His times and seasons. Actually there were a few Gentiles that received salvation in the Old Testament. Rahab in the Book of Joshua was one and Ruth in the Book of Ruth was another. There were more, but this was the exception to the rule. During Jesus' time on earth more Gentiles are mentioned and then finally when the Jewish people rejected Jesus as the Messiah it was time for the Gentile to be accepted by God on a different basis, although Salvation has always come by faith in God, God created a time when mostly Gentiles could come to Him freely and in great numbers. Salvation to the Gentiles was mentioned in the Old Testament a number of times, but the timing was God's.

Who first to preach to the Gentiles?

That was Saint Paul, who believed that God had given him the authority to be an apostle even though he was not one of the original 12 and had never known Jesus. Saint Paul believed that the message of Jesus was for all people, so he converted Gentiles into the Christian community. This angered some Palestinian Christians.Paul the Apostle was known as the 'Apostle to the Gentiles.' He undertook a number of missionary journeys in which he preached to the gentiles.
