Hi,

Is there a way in Firefox to preserve the original date of downloaded file, like some about:config entry? I tried to look for that info, but I only found old addon that does not work with Firefox quantum anymore.

Any suggestion? I used DownloadThemAll! in the past, but this one is also killed by Quantum release...
