Disabling webp support in Firefox results in broken thumbnails in threads on 8kun.
After investigation, it would appear that 8kun serves some image thumbnails in webp format, but still with the .jpg extension
What's up with that? Is it normal behavior? Is there no way to have all images displaying correctly with webp disabled?

It consumes less bandwidth to serve images as webp (or really anything other than jpeg). Given the complexities of running their own CDN and DDoS Mitigation, this is a relatively small issue but it would need to be fixed on their end by testing for webp support.
Given the popularity of webm on the site, I doubt this will ever get "fixed". Especially since full-resolution images are served in their original format. People would riot, but I would unironically be fine with them converting jpegs to pngs or webp on the backend.

We need to kill all autistic tech niggers who want to regress technology and make everything more complicated for everyone else.

completely wrong
Webp is based on vp8 which is worse than JPEG for intra compression used in images. Kill yourself you pseudo /tech/nician!
Webm is a container that can contain vpx and av1 combined with vorbis or opus.
