Downloads are saved to the wrong folder and overwriting previous files

I can't share any files, but rather than saving to my downloads folder, I've found the app is downloading to the folder I had intended to move the files to. The issue is that the naming structure of the files is based on the week/day. So if it's Monday of the first week of the month, it would be Mon-1. When downloading another Mon-1 to the downloads folder, I'd get Mon-1(1), which is exactly what I want. When I use my file browser to move them, it also renames the new file to Mon-1(1), perfect. If I download Mon-1 and this issue occurs, Mon-1 will overwrite the existing Mon-1 in my reports folder. Now I have reports from all different months in my January section with January just about wiped from my phone. I have changed everything but Firefox and the phone and the issue still occurs, so I can only assume it's either an android issue or a Firefox issue.

I realize that if a file is served with mime type Content-Type: application/pgp-encrypted, then its extension is changed by Firefox on Android to ".pgp". Apparently, Firefox for Android likes to modify extensions based on mime type.

Can this behavior be disabled?

How do I rename downloads? I've been unable to renames files, images, videos, etc. and they're named after what happens when someone rolls their face on the face keyboard.

Is there a way to do that within the Android mobile browser? Thank you.

Certain homepages (e.g. viofo. com) cause to download and play their videos right away without asking for one's consent. I thought that was due to using the Chrome browser (tried in vain to stop this in the settings of Chrome and Android). Having changed to Firefox browser for Android has not improved this experience yet. Can one switch off the auto video download in Firefox?

Hello, quite for a long time I observe the same bug that you have in your application. The problem is with downloading a PDF from a supplier. The PDF is not recognised and it is said as an unknown file and also the file does not weigh any kilobytes or different - it’s always zero. So first issue is that the PDF is not recognised as PDF and even though when I try to save/download file to files app on iPhone and I add file extension/shortcut “.pdf”, still it weighs 0 kB.

I observed that the "TRY AGAIN button in the notification restarts the failed download in v129.0 even though it used to continue from where it stopped in previous versions. Please 🙏 look into this issue, because for someone like me who downloads many files at once, I don't like seeing duplicate files in my file manager

It usually creates files like "a.png", "a (1).png", "a (1)(1).png", and so on.
