Firefox Community Forum

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

To replicate this issue, an image from my device is uploaded to a website that requires an image file input; the resulting image displayed on the website becomes corrupted and unreadable. The theory forming currently is the website is having issues retrieving or reading the input images; however, this bug seems to be consistent with several other websites, indicating Firefox is not able to read the images correctly and thus could result in fragmentation. - The image posted is a .png file of a screenshot of an attempt to post a picture to social media, based on the functionality of this bug, I am predicting this image will be fragmented and will only show blue and black lines. The image being posted online is also in a .png file format.
