Firefox Community Forum

I have recently encountered reproducible failures when attempting to download files or save pages to local storage. The target directory is located on a mounted NTFS file system with the options umask=007, user=root, and group=disk. My Firefox browser is running under a non-root user account that is a member of the disk group. However, I consistently receive the error message: “XXX could not be saved because the source file could not be read.”

I would greatly appreciate anyone's assistance in resolving this issue.

Some downloads are blocked by windows 11 security but this does not happen when using Chrome using the same web address.

I have attached the Firefox screenshot error message when trying to save the download. Following this message, Windows 11 put this notification (see other screenshot).
