Okay, thank you. The reason I thought it wasn't the browser was that firefox could open *some* AVIF images. Just none of the ones I created through paint.net. It sounds like this is a bigger issue. It's a shame, because no matter how good AVIF is, it still means little if the rest of the digital world makes it so fraught.

Okay, here is a "link." I had to change the file extension type to png so imgur would accept it. (Normally it doesn't accept avif files) Either way, it isn't really working. However, if you download the file, change the extension to avif, and then open it, it should work in photos, but not if you "open with" a web browser.

I don't know if this should go in the plugin section or here, so lock this thread if necessary. I want to convert several bulky JPEGs into much more compact AVIF files* (saving space is a compulsion of mine), but while I am able to perform the save as function, I noticed today that the resulting avif files won't open in firefox. It can open in the windows photos app. I confirmed that browser can open Avifs created elsewhere, such as the one on this page, so it is something about how the file gets saved. It isn't a huge deal I guess, but it does make me wary of saving any more files as avifs. I attached a sample AVIF file as a text file for troubleshooting. To open it, change the extension. 4da3150bedeba369e39598ae19c09b97.txt
