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.

It's not Firefox's problem that MS Teams (or other "household name" software) sucks.

Edit: ITT: people getting mad at me for pointing out that they're misattributing the blame.

Agreed. I dislike webp intensely but it’s not firefox’s problem to solve. Be mad at google, not firefox.

@grue Another very productive reply. Great. Enjoy your perfectly cross-compatible software environment that somehow exists despite a lack of compatibility not being a "problem" for any software maker to care about.

You mean I should enjoy my perfectly cross-compatible software environment that exists because the the people making it recognize their responsibility to support the latest standard, rather than acting like proprietary software makers by whining and demanding that everybody else cater to their old, broken shit?

Thanks, I will!

But by all means, continue wallowing in your self-inflicted misery instead if you want. Just don't get mad at me for not "productively" explaining how to solve your problem, because I have. You just don't want to hear it.

Why are you @ing people? Lemmy uses threaded comment trees, we can see who you are responding to!

OP is a Mastodon user who confused an unofficial 3rd party Lemmy community with Mozilla's bug tracker.

@woelkchen @queermunist It happens on the Fediverse, where apparently if your community is unofficial you don't need to note that in your description.
