WebP Image Support from the Changelog

[Endymion]

Did I understand the changelog correctly on this point: in the newest version of Pale Moon, the about:config entry "image.webp.enabled" will no longer exist? If that is the case, how can I force Pale Moon to download the jpeg version of a webp image? Would altering the string for "image.http.accept" to remove webp do the job?

Correct.

Would altering the string for "image.http.accept" to remove webp do the job?

That depends on the server. If they honour content negotiation that way, then yes.
Depending on what they do in a "default" situation, you may also use preference and weight values in that header, by setting preferred order and weight, e.g.:

Code: Select all

image/jpeg;q=1.0,image/jxl,image/png,image/*;q=0.8,*/*;q=0.5

To do this, you can follow these steps:

Type "about:config" in the address bar of Pale Moon and press Enter.
You will see a warning message; click on the "I accept the risk!" button.
In the search bar at the top, enter "image.http.accept" to find the preference.
Double-click on the "image.http.accept" preference to modify it.
Remove any mention of "webp" from the value, but make sure to keep other image formats like "jpeg" or "png" intact.
Click "OK" to save the changes.
By removing "webp" from the "image.http.accept" preference, you are indicating to Pale Moon that you prefer other image formats over WebP. This should force the browser to download the JPEG version of a WebP image when encountered.

With the difference of course that Pale Moon does not have an "I accept the risk" button
Did you copypasta Firefox instructions?
(I don't think the OP necessarily needed basic instructions)

Hi,

Well it's still there in French language pack: "Je prends le risque" (literally: "I take the risk").
It should be replaced with "Je promets d'être prudent" to be in par with english version.

Cheers.

I rely on volunteer translators for the language packs on CrowdIn. Not all of them are accurate, and most of them have not been proofed by a second person.
If you want to help improve the French language pack, please feel free to go to the l10n boar and read the stickies to get started with CrowdIn
