I am able to reproduce this.
On Chrome will display them well.

It seems that it works on 40 Beta 10 and doesn't in Aurora (42)

I have just debugged the page on Firefox Nightly for Android. The answer? They send WebP images ;)

Does "image/webp" appear in the accept header?

Comment 7

[Kohei Yoshino [:kohei]]

Firefox is sending the following Accept header:

> Accept:"image/png,image/*;q=0.8,*/*;q=0.5"

Looks like this was due to a change in the user-agent string format from Firefox mobile 41.0 onwards: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Gecko_user_agent_string_reference#Android_(version_40_and_below)

This has now been fixed on play.google.com and should be in effect soon. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the report!

I think Firefox should change the Accept value string for image requests to explicitly state no support for WebP to avoid any similar future problems until the support is implemented, like this:

> Accept: image/png,image/*;q=0.8,*/*;q=0.5,image/webp;q=0
>                                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

By the way, what is `*/*;q=0.5` doing there?

I also had a problem with my Web site. It uses server-side content negotiation. image/webp matches both image/* and */*.

Negotiating content based on the User-Agent string is just plain wrong. No one should be doing it.

I know I'm the minority here. :(

@urvang thanks a lot. 
Do you know roughly when it will be pushed on production servers?

Testing as of now.

I think this should be live on Monday/Tuesday.
I'll test on Firefox mobile 41 beta and confirm once it's live.

Images look OK on Firefox on Android beta (version 41.0) now.
