    If Firefox supports webp in the near future...

Where are you getting this? My understanding is FF still doesn't intend to add WebP support. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=856375

Yes, this was wishful thinking on my part. sp332 is right, there was no decision to implement this. They choose to put their efforts towards mozjpeg instead: http://calendar.perfplanet.com/2014/mozjpeg-3-0/

That thread was effectively closed because the conversation became unproductive. There was no decision on implementation of WebP. See this comment for a summary https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=856375#c170
