- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17875336, 2 years agoDoesn't seem to work. I've selected strip webp and avif, but both the developer console and https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-http-headers-is-my-browser-sending say I'm still sending webp and avif in the Accept header.
Edit: Strangely, toggling the "Run in Private Windows" to "Allow" and back to "Don't allow" (which is my desired setting) fixed the issue, even though I always ran the tests in normal browsing instead of private browsing. I'm unable to replicate this for a proper bug report, but just a FYI for others facing similar issues.Developer response
posted 2 years agoIn case you are using private windows, make sure you enabled the add-on to run in private windows: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/extensions-private-browsing
If that's not the problem, hmm, could there be a conflict with a different extension that also modifies request headers? - Rated 1 out of 5by The Virginian, 2 years agoInstalled it and tried to save an image and it immediately didn't work. Useless

posted 2 years agoWhat this add-on does is remove a signal that Firefox normally sends to the server that your browser can handle WebP images. The idea is to discourage the server from sending WebP in place of JPEG or PNG.
I'm not sure what problem you ran into with saving an image not working, but do you mean you still got a WebP image? That definitely can happen when the site insists on sending you one, or when the page is using a "picture" tag, but this add-on should help on most sites.
If you need an add-on to convert a WebP image to something else, check out https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/save-webp-as-png-or-jpeg/ - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 5544567, 2 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13873945, 2 years agoThis is the sort of thing that should be available to toggle in about:config, but I'm glad this extension exists (and does the job well)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Jason, 2 years agoIt works. I've been growing increasingly annoyed with the number of sites defaulting to webp and after switching to FF found this gem of an extension on a whim. The majority will settle for webp, I'll take my original formatted files, thanks.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Álvaro González, 2 years agoIt does one thing and it does it right. Code is simple and doesn't do anything dodgy.

- Rated 5 out of 5by mgkrupa, 2 years agoThis is one of those excellent addons that once you've tried it, you'll wish that you had known about it earlier.
It currently works on most sites although not all, since some sites will simply refuse to send you the original jpeg/png (or the image may not even exist in that format on their servers). In those cases you can use the author's other addon "Save webP as PNG or JPEG (Converter)" to convert to jpeg/png.
It has never broken any website for me or caused me any trouble so it's pretty easy to forget that you even have it installed. But at the same it has made saving pictures so much less annoying.
How can I tell it's working if I forget I even have it? Well whenever a site forces a webp file on me then the "Save webP as..." addon makes a popup appear asking me if I want to convert the file. Since installing this addon, I see that popup much MUCH less often so on those rare occasions where I do see this popup, I suddenly remember this addon and realize that it's been silently doing its job in the background for a while.
Thank you for the great addon jscher2000! - Rated 5 out of 5by Tomé Carvalho, 2 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by JMS, 2 years agoSimple and effective. It tells the server that you can't read webp formats so that web server sends you JPG or PNG. You can also tell it not to send avif files. I don't have a problem with webp/avif, but websites are recompressing lossy formats (JPG) to these new formats and that I don't like.

webp might be nice to allow smaller images, but when I want to download them it's a pain. Almost no program knows how to handle webp images
Any chance you can make is work in FF mobile? pretty pleaseDeveloper response
posted 2 years agoSomeone once told me how to test extensions on mobile but it was a bit beyond me. The code is open source, so someone who knows the ropes certainly could port it over.
