It's universal. Windows and NeXTSTEP/macOS clipboards are like this too. A list of formats goes on the clipboard, and when an app wants to paste, it looks at the list and decides which one it'll go with.
But yeah, order is significant, and Firefox/LibreWolf's chosen order of image formats is…unfortunate.

@argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org @soft@normal.style i just checked what chromium does when copying a JPEG, and it seems like it doesn’t even offer any image formats other than png. it does at least order it above html tho. kimapr@mindcore:~$ xclip -sel clip -out -t TARGETS TIMESTAMP TARGETS SAVE_TARGETS MULTIPLE chromium/x-internal-source-rfh-token chromium/x-source-url image/png text/html text/x-moz-url
