posted 2 years agoFor best results with animated images, try using the "IE 11" button. That will re-request the original URL for the image as a dumb browser incompatible with WebP. That doesn't work on all sites, but it's worth a try.
If you are noticing that a specific site doesn't work with the "IE 11" button, could you share a link? You can send it by email jscher2000@outlook.com or create an issue at https://github.com/jscher2000/Save-webP-as-extension/issues. Thanks. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16433046, 2 years ago

posted 2 years agoHi Peter, you can contact me for support through the Issues page at https://github.com/jscher2000/Save-webP-as-extension/issues or by email at jscher2000@outlook.com. Hopefully we can get it working again. - Rated 2 out of 5by bleedingpopcorn76, 2 years agoit works great but its way too confusing to configure. either the settings don't seem to behave the way they're supposed to or i just don't understand what they say, i really don't know. i just click stuff until it stays the way i want it and even then it kinda breaks downloading images in webp automatically for no reason if i refresh the link. so far the worst front end i've come across in 20 years of messing around with comptuers.

- Rated 5 out of 5by GUIGUI, 2 years agoHello, thanks a lot for this, but one question: what about animated webp image (like this one for example: https://i0.wp.com/drunkenanimeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Outburst-heder-gif-1.webp?fit=540%2C304&ssl=1 ) can future update on your addon allow to save them as webm?
Also, when the "Yes" option is selected in the "Save Dialog / Autosave Options" setting, it would be nice if the save dialog box remembered the file path for the next use.
Thanks.Developer response
posted 2 years agoThank you for your feedback. For animated webP, the "IE11" button works the best for saving in an animated GIF format, assuming the server offers one, but isn't perfect. For WebM, I could try linking to an online conversion service but I'm not aware of one.
The Save As dialog takes advantage of Firefox's built-in behavior to remember your last used folder per website. I actually don't know whether I can override that in the add-on; I'll need to look into it. - Rated 5 out of 5by Gordon, 2 years agoExcellent add-on, thanks! I set the option to show the Save As dialogue each time and to save "Directly in my downloads folder", and for me it seems to remember the last save location so I don't have to go hunting for it each time. YMMV.
I haven't gotten the IE11 button to work yet, I still keep getting a .avif. But I may be misunderstanding something about that. Regardless, this thing is still great. Highly recommend if you are annoyed with getting .avif or .webp files when saving images. - Rated 5 out of 5by PPlank, 2 years agoThis is a great little plugin that I use almost every day for downloading memes in jpg format. The only thing I'd like it to also be able to do is to save to a different location other than the default so I have to navigate to the network folder I like to save images to, but I get if this isn't possible due to addon limitations and I guess I'll just live with it. Maybe I'll look for a bit of software that monitors that location and auto-moves anything that appears there. :-)

posted 2 years agoHi, do the save options help? You can have Firefox prompt you each time if you need to use a range of folders. As you can see I was planning to let you pick any folder under Downloads (add-ons can't auto-save outside of your default "Save files to:" folder) but haven't finished that yet. https://addons.mozilla.org/user-media/previews/full/265/265268.png - Rated 5 out of 5by shrl, 2 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by cop123, 2 years agoToday 10 october 2022 My "Save_webP" Folder is EMPTY. Why? There was 2 GB photos
Developer response
posted 2 years agoSorry to hear about that. This add-on doesn't have a feature to delete saved images, but the images are handled as downloads and Firefox itself has a feature to delete downloaded files. The way that works is to right-click an item on the download history list and click Delete -- if multiple downloads are selected, all of the files for the selected items will be deleted. If the files weren't deleted through that feature, perhaps they are in the Windows Recycle Bin (if you run windows) or your system's equivalent. If not, you could try "unerase" software like https://www.ccleaner.com/recuva - Rated 1 out of 5by Demez, 2 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by rotie, 2 years agoCongratulations, I managed to save 1 (sic!) picture. When clicking on png/jpg/ button options nothing happens.

posted 2 years agoHi rotie, could you start a thread on https://github.com/jscher2000/Save-webP-as-extension/issues/ and give an example of a page where it doesn't work, or email me at jscher2000@outlook.com
**Update** I noticed this can happen in a framed page. Try using either right-click > Open Image in New Tab (use the stand-alone image viewer), or right-click > This Frame > Open Frame in New Tab to work around this issue for now. Hopefully I can figure out the issue. - Rated 5 out of 5by The Disintegrator, 2 years ago
