- Rated 5 out of 5by Ollie, 14 days agoLove it!! Really great work, thanks a lot! Plus the hotkey idea (shift+click, save as PNG ; ctrl + click, save as JPEG) is the cherry on the cake. I don't get it why there are so many Miesmacher und Kritikaster in the reviews, but some people are born vinegar drinkers that can never be pleased, don't let it get you down, it's a perfect add-on imho.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Alonzo, 17 days agoIt doesn't "open the bar automatically on stand alone web images". Whether I activate the feature or not, it just doesn't.

posted 17 days agoHi Alonzo, this should work if you right-click > Open Image in New Tab. Is that still working? If the site responds to that by showing the image in the context of a page, then the code won't kick in.
Occasionally users discover a problem with the saved settings and need to clear them to start again. I posted a back door way to do this; I don't have a built-in feature for it.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18648834, 3 months agoThe extension is now almost unusable for me. I keep getting this message: "Permission to inject a script was denied on..." It's just frustrating, but not very helpful.
Developer response
posted 2 months agoSorry for the inconvenience. Previously, when Firefox wouldn't insert the necessary script, it just failed silently. I kept that as an option if you preferred that behavior.
But more generally, Firefox 128 finally allowed injection into most non-Mozilla sites. If you are running an older version, such as the Extended Support Release of Firefox 115, you could consider upgrading if your OS can run Firefox 128 ESR. - Rated 5 out of 5by Steve, 4 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Sorceress Eve, 4 months agoLove this addon, absolute must to avoid webp. The settings are a little confusing, but I did manage to work it out.
Not sure if @Koledaloli looked at the settings or not. But everything they wanted is able to be done in settings, or at least I managed to do it as it too was my prefereed set-up.
The settings I used; imgur.com/a/PiHYM0O - Rated 1 out of 5by Koledaloli, 4 months agoLong frustrated rant incoming.

Wtf, why is this so unnecessarily complex when it comes to reddit comment images ? In fact, I would prefer if when I right click the image and click 'save Webp as PNG', it instantly does exactly just that, instead of this multi-options crap that won't even appear correctly like in this case. Also, the UI for it is very ugly and unprofessional.
Also, don't tell me to right click open in new tab the image. Reddit has this stupid issue when it comes to images inside comments where doing that will lead to a broken link (imgur.com/a/Wa7FDhH). F*ck reddit for automatically converting PNGs into WEBPs.
It's a shame that the entire of Firefox only has this as WEBP-to-PNG extension. I'm specifically having to dual use another Chromium browser just because Chrome extension store has another WEBP-to-PNG extension that does EXACTLY just what simple request I wanted.

posted 4 months agoFirst, I didn't realize the button bar was scrunched in a way that makes it unusable on those images. I'll have to investigate.
Second, by default, if you Shift+click the menu item, it bypasses the button bar and saves as PNG. You can change which action occurs on a plain click versus Shift+click in the options. (Another reviewer shared an example of where to change this: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/save-webp-as-png-or-jpeg/reviews/2120797/ )
I have a couple pending requests to have sub-menus as an alternative to a button bar, since not everyone finds that design attractive, but I haven't found time to work on that. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18597364, 5 months agodoes exactly what it says with a simple additional context menu so i don't have to fight with webps anymore. dev is also way too kind to the ignorant 1 star reviews, deserves 6/5 stars for that alone lol.

- Rated 4 out of 5by SlickStretch, 5 months agoMy only complaint is that I don't like the format/options display. I would really like an option to make the format/options part of the right-click context menu.
- Rated 5 out of 5by The_WhO, 5 months agoBest of best! These shitty websites like webp because hate users, very simple, nice work with transparent images, even can compress image.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Islam Nurmagomedov, 5 months agoTrash, can't retain background transparency of PNG, instead turn into black bg.
Developer response
posted 5 months agoIs this a problem with pasting? Firefox does something weird with the transparent areas of PNGs when pasting. You may need to save those or use a different format. (Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460969)
If it's a problem with saving, could you share the address of a problem image? You can contact me either at jscher2000@outlook.com or start a new issue thread on https://github.com/jscher2000/Save-webP-as-extension/issues
