I download this picture from Reddit and it has .jpg extension. Will not open in Win10 Photo app or in ACDSee 20? If I change extension to .png I get same result. If I change extension to .webp it works??? Same behaviour exists on all my desktops and laptops. But not every picture?? Some other websites too, Chive, for instance.
Is this coming from the websites? Changes to Reddit? Updates to Win10?
Updates to Firefox? Virus? Running latest Norton, keep Win10 updated etc.
This behaviour is recent, maybe 1-3 months.
If I use Edge download is fine. Microsoft sabotage?
Attached picture is my download that doesn't open. Does it in yours??
