Firefox forcing images to be saved as .webp; changes to about:config don't work. Help?

I need to be able to save .gif images as .gifs, not .webp. Changing these in about:config don't work:

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

Would reverting back to an older version of Firefox fix it? Is there some other solution? This is very frustrating.

You need to remove ,image/webp from the accept pref.

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

I did that already and it didn't work. Is there something else I can try?

Hello ccgift1,

You marked cor-el's post as Chosen Solution - does that mean it did work after all  ?

Web pages shouldn't send WebP images when you do not request them via the accept headers.

You marked my above reply as the solution. Does this mean that you got it to work. I don't know if you need to close and restart Firefox to make the changes work.

What are the current settings of the webp prefs?
