Extensions are changed on download

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?

Unfortunately, no. Firefox for desktop does the same.

Thanks! I was hoping that there is an option in about:config.

The problem at hand is that .pgp somehow are not opened by OpenKeychain upon download, whereas .gpg files are.

Otherwise, Firefox on Android is attractive, especially the built-in PDF viewer. I hope this issue will be fixed.

What is the rationale? Make sure that file extensions match mime type? (security)

In the meantime, I am trying to figure out if it is possible to have OpenKeychain show up as handler for .pgp files.
