Stopping AUTOMATIC JPG to AVIF Conversions On Download

Hello,

I am trying to download a few JPG images from Meetup.com. Here is an example URL:

https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/5/0/a/highres_528673578.jpeg

This is CLEARLY a JPG image from the URL. However, when I right click on the image to Save As the only choice given is AVIF! I cannot open or use AVIF files. As you know the conversion process is LOSSY so trying to convert BACK to a JPG format is not recommended.

It is fine if Firefox and other browsers want to use AVIF format internally but you should, at least, give users the OPTION of downloading the native format.

So how do I fix/configure Firefox to provide the native JPG file download?

Thanks, Steve

Firefox 140.0.2 on Windows 11 All localization settings are correct (English / US)

I like to use the Inter font where I can due to its legibility, etc. I've used it as the default font in Firefox for a long time and I have Firefox set to not override fonts. Recently I've noticed some glyphs aren't getting rendered / chosen correctly. This is just one example (a message entry field on a forum) but I've seen it elsewhere so it's not just this page. See the attached images comparing Segoe UI and Inter.

Font issue or Firefox? I'm tempted to suspect the latter since I've used Inter all over the place previously without problems and being a font, once done it's done. I've also not seen issues in places using Inter.

Thanks.

Hi,

Firefox version: 139.0.4 (64-bit) OS: Windows 11

I have been having issues where Firefox tab will just crash out for no reason it appears and it happens at random times and once the tab start to crash, and I restore it, it will crash again and again. The only way tog et out of the loop is to restart Firefox.

I have tried: Refreshing/Reset, Clearing Cache and History removing all themes, disabling extensions, disabling my anti virus. Turning off hardware acceleration didn't make any different.

I currently have 2 extensions enabled: uBlock Origin 1.64.0 and Bitwarden Password Manager 2025.5.0

In the about:Crashes I have reported them all and they seem to have the same type of reasons in the Raw data/Minidump which are: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ

Any help as to what to try next?

Not a problem with Google, Edge or other browsers.

Graphics Acceleration is turned on.

I cannot for the life of me figure this out. Whenever I load a website that needs location (for example, Google Maps or my province's lottery) and enable location permissions, the websites come back saying they cannot find my location.

I have refreshed Firefox, disabled all Enhanced Tracking Protection, disabled all extensions, and have even ran Firefox in Troubleshoot mode - all to no avail. Is there any way this can be fixed? These websites all work on Chrome and Edge and work on my Firefox for iPhone.

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to indianfrro.gov.in . If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the web site, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.

If you are on a corporate network or using antivirus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the web site’s administrator about the problem.

I do not know what to do for the best

I asked a question yesterday afternoon and left the tab open. This morning there was a response to my question. In attempting to implement the instructions, I inadvertently deleted the tab with the instructions. Now I cannot find it again. I have been through the list of questions both open and answered and cannot find my original post. I would assume that there is a way to search by my user name to find all my posts but I cannot find one.
