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.

fortunately, since you use Firefox, there are a handful of extensions available just for this problem already. Maybe not for the drag n drop, though...

@kuneho I love Firefox and dragging images out of the window is a great thing to be able to do, but not when they're webp.

funny thing is, for some reason, it just... never came to me to just drag images from the browser and save them like that 😅, but surely sounds a logical and convenient thing to do, so I can see your frustration

I think it's a Macintosh workflow that's spilled out. From what I've seen, folks either use it heavily or not at all
