Apologies, sloppy link-copying. Should be pointing to the .jpg now.

It's a webp. Firefox doesn't support those.

51.0.1 32bit. Don't ask me why I'm running 32bit FF, this is news to me as well.

I'd be more inclined to ask why it worked for you in that exact version, but not for me in the very same one. (Mine might be 64-bit, but I can't see that making a difference here.)

I went to investigate for curiosity's sake but OP changed the link on us!

Maybe it's a prerelease feature, or maybe Firefox is falling back on a capability that at least some desktop OSes don't have.

It doesn't work in Microsoft Edge either (yup I use it).

Is this taboo? I also use Edge and find it great.

I don't see many people using Edge. I mostly don't have any problems now that it has extensions for ad block and lastpass. Sometimes opening a new tab just mysteriously doesn't work (it sits with the tab open doing nothing) or the website barely works without Edge freezing up (CarMax.com).

The battery life is really good though.

Doesn't work on IOS either (chrome specifically).
