Firefox 93 on linux returns type of image/png when querying for webp
Hmm, not sure mozilla support is the right place, and I can't get 'matrix' working at all, since irc is no longer supported.
I want to use javascript to detect whether the browser has webp support. This is the recommended javascript technique... ``` function canUseWebP() {
var elem = document.createElement('canvas'); if (!!(elem.getContext && elem.getContext('2d'))) {
// was able or not to get WebP representation
return elem.toDataURL('image/webp').indexOf('data:image/webp') == 0;
} // very old browser like IE 8, canvas not supported
return false;
} ``` but elem.toDataURL('image/webp') returns a binary blob that has 'image/png' as a header.
Why does Firefox return 'image/png' when it should return 'image/webp'?

Judging from the following table, it looks like Firefox won't support 'image/webp' as a parameter of toDataURL() until the next release, Firefox 96:

Why do you need to test for WebP support using a script?
