Dowloaded Images not showing in Gallery

Hi there,

I have recently returned to Firefox for android and I've noticed a bug on my Huawei P30.

When downloading images (from any website) those images do not show up in the Huawei gallery. I can see them in my file manager, and only upon moving them to a new location do they show up. However if copied back to the download folder, the image now appears in Gallery. It is as if the gallery does not have permission to view the file, or the image file is somehow locked.

I have tried switching the location in Nightly and Beta versions using about:config but the issue persists and this is of course not possible in the release version.

Any ideas or help? It is frustrating to have to navigate to my downloads folder in my file manager every time I wish to access or share a photo I've downloaded.
