Some downloads are blocked by windows 11 security but this does not happen when using Chrome using the same web address.

I have attached the Firefox screenshot error message when trying to save the download. Following this message, Windows 11 put this notification (see other screenshot).

I have recently encountered reproducible failures when attempting to download files or save pages to local storage. The target directory is located on a mounted NTFS file system with the options umask=007, user=root, and group=disk. My Firefox browser is running under a non-root user account that is a member of the disk group. However, I consistently receive the error message: “XXX could not be saved because the source file could not be read.”

I would greatly appreciate anyone's assistance in resolving this issue.

Firefox always redownloads images, and always with a different request than the one displaying them. This frequently causes downloads to fail, or repeats large downloads. I have had this issue for years now. When I attemp to download an image, do not redownload it. Instead, save what was already downloaded. If you insist on redownloading it, then use the same request as was used to display it. There have been so many images I can see but that fail to download. It's incredibly frustrating and I was hoping someone would fix it but no one did so today I speak up. This affects desktop and mobile

Recently, I can't download content; esp. PDF's. I click on a PDF file link, and nothing happens. No error message, no acknowledgement all. I have cleared all data, set security to Standard without relief. I've set the PDF Action to "Always Ask" yet get no dialog box on clicking on a PDF link. Other browsers work just fine. Is it time to switch browsers?

Hi!

This seems to be related to whatever issue was happening on Firefox when "Fixed an issue where data consumption from service workers may unexpectedly halt (Bug 1941210)." was done and consequently fixed it. My issue in particular has to do with trying to import yomitan dictionaries on mobile and it aborts midway through and says there was an JSON.parse error. Looking at it on GitHub, there was an issue like this with yomitan and Firefox and seemed to have been fixed by Firefox (on desktop?) but this continues to happen. The yomitan issue on GitHub was "Importing dictionaries stuck on validation step #1765" and wasn't a problem on yomitan's end but specifically Firefox. I have tried importing with other browsers on mobile and the only issue I've run into has been the size of files, not the error Firefox shows.

Thank you for any assistance.

Hello,

Pixel 8 und Pixel 10 Android 16 und 15

when I want to download a podcast from ARD Podcast, I can click "Download," but the "Download" button is missing from the subsequent window. With Duckduck, it's no problem.
