Tokyo Outsider (337ppm)Mar 8

It's not every day that intentional software design makes me sit back, staring at the screen, and say out loud "You've gotta be kidding me."

But today #Firefox did it.

Recently every image I try to save (with right-click "Save image as") can only be saved as a webp file that needs to be converted using an online service (or software I don't have).

But it turns out that if you open the image in a new tab then hit Ctrl+S to save the "page" it lets you save it in the original image format.

WTF?

@tokyo_0 The workaround I use for this is open the image in a new tab (to get the original size), and download it using the Firefox screenshot integrated tool. It selects the image automatically and saves it in png format. But yes, it's annoying.

@miguelmaiquez @tokyo_0 I’ve also been annoyed by WEBP images. I’ve just built myself a “save as JPG” shortcut in macOS. Pretty sure ImageMagick could do the conversion to anything on other platforms.
