Developer

Web Platform

  • Experimental AVIF support can be enabled by turning on image.avif.enabled in about:config. Images accessed via a file:// handler will be rendered in-browser, but remote URLs require the server to be configured to return the image/avif Content-Type header. https://resources.link-u.co.jp/avif/ contains a large number of properly-served sample images.
