Actually that would be a good riddance and I personally won't miss it (nothing of value is being stored as GIF nowadays, and this format is laughably inefficient) and will be the first to jump on the version without gif support. I already block them in uBlock Origin anyway, so it would be less "dead" code, which is always good because it's less attack surface. TIFF at least has some use cases, at least compared to GIF which doesn't have any valid use cases whatsoever. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673342 Title: [wishlist] Support displaying inline tiff images (to support mails fom Mac Mail) Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Won't Fix Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird When a user of Apple Mac Mail pastes images in a email body, they are attached as tiff images (can't figure out why they didn't use png), Thunderbird doesn't know how to display these and just shows a big broken square instead.
