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.

Implicitly converting anything anywhere is always a bad idea, especially when it can't be done in a lossless way.

There could be an option to auto convert to PNG. I wouldn't want anything auto converted to a lossy format like JPEG.
