"HEIF itself is a container, and when containing images and image sequences encoded in a particular format (e.g., HEVC or H.264/AVC), its use becomes subject to the licensing of patents on the coding format. Generally, lawful use of a patented invention requires the patent holder's permission in countries where the patent is in force (see patent infringement)." - so it doesn't look good for Firefox implementation support of High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF).
