Since Firefox is natively supporting .webp images, they are displayed as webp images on web sites providing this option. How can we globally force Firefox to always fallback to jpg or png images?
I know .webp images support is an improvement, but for my case I need to export a lot of pictures from websites using a drag'n drop from Firefox to Windows Explorer. As webp images are not supported natively by Windows, this is useless... I would like to get the standard image instead.
Remark:
Before Firefox v70, it was possible to force it in tweaking about:config :
"image.http.accept" = "image/webp,*/*"
> change to "*/*"
But this tweak is not working anymore.
1Wouldn't something like "How to disable support for webp images in Firefox?" be a better title? (The "fallback" and "supported" parts are confusing, I feel.) Also, did you try to set a specific list of image formats in
image.http.accept
(probably also with someq
to set your preferences), rather than just/

@harrymc, for me google.com returns a few WebP images (at least when requested from Amsterdam).
