Dear @firefox : Please stop saving images as webp when I drag them out of the browser. Forever stop that. Even if they are webp originally, just give me a setting to auto-convert them to JPEG. When I get a webp file the first thing I have to do is convert it manually if I'm going to do *anything* with it.

Too bad so many platforms are not compatible with it. I am constantly having to convert the image type to post the image.

Websites that do not recognize webp normally are fine when you run Linux?

Try changing the file extension. Often the extension is checked but not if the file format matches the extension. All browsers read WebP just fine.
