- Rated 5 out of 5by Rana Waheed, a day agoAbsolutely outstanding add-on i ever found. My work of downloading pictures got much easier by this add-on. 100% recommended this. Just do some settings as per your need and you have very good results. I really appreciated to the developer for such kind of precious work. Please keep it up. Regards: Rana Waheed
- Rated 1 out of 5by Kiflaam, 5 days agoONE STAR SO IT IS SEEN: most of the negative reviews are by people that don't know how to check the bottom of the right-click menu. Indeed, this add-on adds a new option on the right-click menu so you can save as a png in one click, without having to go through MS paint. FIVE STARS

posted 5 days agoFor converting to PNG and JPEG, the add-on doesn't need to use external services unless Firefox restricts the page. To convert animated WebP to animated GIF, you need to use an external service (Firefox doesn't have a function add-ons can call for that). - Rated 4 out of 5by JdbyeRox, 8 days agoHas this been updated to fix the recent webp remote code execution exploit? That has me a bit worried right now.

posted 8 days agoHi, do you mean the one assigned CVE-2023-4863? Mozilla issued Firefox 117.0.2 and 115.2.1 to address the problem. See: https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2023-40/
The reason for mentioning that patch is: this extension uses features Firefox makes available to add-ons and web page scripts; the extension does not have its own image conversion libraries. - Rated 5 out of 5by geeknik, 25 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by qdfgn, 2 months agouseless, it won't let you choose the folder once and for all, so any time it saves you in changing image extension, you lose in having to navigate to correct folder EVERY SINGLE TIME

posted 2 months agoUnfortunately, add-ons are restricted to starting in either the Downloads folder and or in a sub-folder of the Downloads folder. If you don't want to save in the Save_webP folder, you can place a shortcut in that folder to double-click over to your preferred location. - Rated 5 out of 5by CP, 2 months agoThis is amazing extension. I would like to have a feature that I could save images in pixel and keep aspect ratio.

posted 3 months agoHi, could you open an issue at https://github.com/jscher2000/Save-webP-as-extension/issues or send me an email at jscher2000@outlook.com for personal assistance? Until then, if the menu item is no longer appearing on the right-click context menu, you might want to remove and reinstall it, and if you notice a problem in private windows (Ctrl+Shift+P or "Never Remember History") make sure it is enabled for private windows when you reinstall.
(Update: version 1.5.1 pops up a little panel with some more options when the script is denied permission to read the page. Previously that just caused silent failure.)- Rated 5 out of 5by virgator, 3 months agoAwesome thx. Feels great to not have to deal with that image format. Was a pain to DL, open in Paint and save as .jpg ^^

- Rated 4 out of 5by waranghira, 4 months agoAnother add-on that I can't use since "Access your data for all websites". Why can't they just limit to what they actually need?
Developer response
posted 4 months agoI know, it's inconvenient and demands a lot of trust. This add-on only reads data when you call it up, and it does not read data in pages other than the image it's operating on. Either way, it doesn't send info to me -- I have no interest what is happening in anyone else's browser.
For what it's worth, I did *try* to write this extension *without* that permission. If the image is hosted on the same server as the page (both the same server as listed in the address bar), then the fact that you right-clicked the image could grant one-time permission automatically (so called activeTab permission).
But a large proportion of images are hosted on a different server, so that method failed frequently in real world testing. Maybe there is a new solution to this four years down the road? I'll update this reply if I find one and rewrite the add-on. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15597296, 4 months ago
