On the new firefox for android, when I download pictures using firefox.. they don't appear in gallery, and don't show up in any apps (eg. can't post from inside facebook app) until the media scanner is invoked (eg. when I open google photos app that rescans on every start).. or after forcing a media scan on the download folder with SD maid app.. or after phone restart.. Firefox should update the media scanner immediately when media is downloaded.. Using 81.1.0-beta.2
