Until yesterday, I could save images on the 9gag website as .jpg files, while Google Chrome saved it as .webp files. I preferred using .jpg. Today, my Firefix browser is no longer able to do that? Is there a setting in Firefox which will allow me to save files as .jpg instead of .webp? If not, then why was this feature removed?

Firefox 65 supports WebP images, so websites do not need to fall back to JPG images.

There is this pref present on the about:config page to control this feature.

  • image.webp.enabled = true
  • image.http.accept = image/webp,*/*
  • network.http.accept.default = text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8
