@kmk3 commented on GitHub (Jun 19, 2025):

Basic debugging information is missing; please follow the bug report template:

 LC_ALL=C firejail qutebrowser 

Make sure to use the full path to avoid issues with firejail-in-firejail (see
#2877).

Example:

LC_ALL=C firejail /usr/bin/qutebrowser 

No image preview in qutebrowser at reddit.

Does it work on any other website?

[148:24:0618/160222.414640:ERROR:ffmpeg_common.cc(1046)] Unsupported pixel format: -1

What image format is that?

Post one image example.
