When I open a pdf file it is automatically saved to my desktop, which is my selected location. I have also checked the always ask where to save files. In settings I have indicated I want pdf files to be opened by Foxit Reader. Other files set to ask open or save.

I also have gone in into about:config and set browser.download.open_pdf_attachments_inline to true based on a previous reply in this forum about this issue.

What can I do to stop the PDF files from being automatically saved to my desktop?

When I didn't know what I was doing, within Settings for Firefox desktop browser for Windows 10 where you can make associations for file types or applications, I began putting choices in that I felt made sense at the time. I don't think I've made the best choices and I would like to change that entire section with the heading Content Type to the defaults that would have appeared in the Action column. Is there a way I can return the defaults only for Content Type without resetting everything in the browser to the state it was first in before I began customizing some areas? Thanks.

To preface this, I am not sure if this is caused by my OS (Ubuntu 24.04) or by the way Firefox tends to work on Linux as other issues have been (and therefore, might be resolved with a change in about:config).

Problem: When I download a file and download another one right after that one, the window showing the folder I am choosing to download to won't show the file/image preview of the file I just downloaded before; it only shows the correct preview once I have opened the file manager on my OS; after doing that the file preview is up to date again. (basically, it only shows the correct file preview when I viewed the files on my desktop before opening the download window and will not keep up to date with the most recent changes on its own like it does on Windows for example)

I don't know if there's anywhere else that allows you to report bugs, so I'll do it here. Currently, you cannot swipe away download pop-ups on the mobile version of firefox beta and it covers screen elements for as long as it persists. It's a minor bug that removes your ability to tap anything on the bottom of the screen for 20 seconds or so when it timesout. An example is in the image I gave. The screen pop-up continues to block any interactions behind it.

Why Mozilla don't have download manager like mozilla PC We need it cuz the application use the phone download manager and it's trash if click in download its stop Exit from it stop and its very slow really snail We need it application is perfect why don't have this future

Pls do it 🙏🥺

Long time ago it was the only thing we had: if you saved a file, you selected the folder. If you saved the next file, you selceted the folder, but the LRU (last recently used) was the default.

Now download folders depend on the domain, the filetype, the age of the user and the color of the T-shirt he wears. At least that's what I guess. Its so complicated, my IQ is not sufficient to understand it. And if you refuse to have it this way, its always stored to the Download folder.

After long research, opening the low level config page, identifying cryptic names of configuration properties and clicking away warnings I was able to deactivate domain specific download folders. It was so annoying, I immediately forgot how I did it.

Still I have to select the same path again and again and again for each filetype I want to store.

And the FileSelector has its own history, but the last folder I selected does not show. Why? Obviously its a fake history.

Is is possible to disable the Autorun feature for downloaded video files in Firefox? I tried the Settings, Privacy & Security, Autoplay changing the setting to Block Audio & Video, but after the file downloads it still runs automatically.

Hi,

We use the firefox for ios browser accross our organisation to access a web app. i have notived from the latest version that the downloads process appears to have changed, previously the download would trigger to a new tab whereas now it triggers a download button and then a downloads window where you need to press on the download to open, i can understand the change but it would be good to have the ability to switch it so that downloads can either follow this new process or open in a new tab depending on the users requirements.

When downloading, the popup that tells you that the download is complete no longer has a little X you can push to get rid of it, you have to swipe. What is worse is tagtbit STAYS up until you do! Who thought this up some kind of sadist?!

Hi — I used to be able to option-click (on a mac) a link in a firefox window to download the linked file directly to my selected downloads folder. This has seemed to stop working. Can you help me get it going again?

Many thanks, Mark
