it’s hardcoded to welcome-background.png but if you rename your jpg file to png it will work.

#4

png is not working either

#5

is your file a valid graphic file ? what says

file welcome-background.png

#6

I tried with that and it did not work the same file works with chrome

#7

If Firefox is relying on the file extension to understand it, it’s sad.
It’s not that difficult to get a png file from a jpg file anyway. On Ubuntu

sudo apt install imagemagick

then

sudo convert welcome-background.jpg welcome-background.png

should do the trick.

@Chagai_Friedlander I understand you’re talking about the new virtual backgrounds not the landing page background (welcome-background.png); so yes, Firefox is not rendering the custom image - be it in jpg or png format.
