How can the android FF app not have a way of showing progress of downloads? I find this absolutely bizarre, when every other browser does this. It's critical information to have. You have no idea how much has downloaded or how long is left, the downloads window is just blank until it's fully completed downloading an item.

This is a new issue that just started occuring this month Nov/2023. Firefox for Android has suddenly developed an issue where instead of saving to the download folder and renaming the file with (1), (2), etc. It will save to a random folder and overwrite an existing file with the same name.

Noticed occuring on ebay images because they have the same naming structure.

I can't see the download button on my Firefox settings. Where is the download button on Firefox? How can I download a picture or anything else into my phone using the Firefox browser?

Thanks

Hello, everyone!

I'm encountering a perplexing problem with downloading .mobileconfig WiFi profile files through a direct link in my ReactJS web application. This functionality works flawlessly on Google Chrome, Safari, and Edge across iPhone and iPad devices. However, when attempting the same on Firefox for iOS, the downloaded file becomes corrupted and unrecognizable as a .mobileconfig file.

The download mechanism is implemented using a simple anchor tag that points directly to the file on the server. Interestingly, only in Firefox on iOS, the content of the .mobileconfig file gets altered during the download process, leading to corruption.

I'm keen to understand why this issue is occurring specifically with Firefox on iOS and how to resolve it. Has anyone else faced a similar challenge or have any insights on how to ensure the file downloads correctly on all browsers, including Firefox on iOS? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your help!

I can’t get the app on iOS to download without a messed up bookmark setting, which means the settings button will not open! Please offer a solution? I installed and reinstalled, plus I’ve tried to delete files folder etc, but the iOS download is holding onto the old file system, which I messed up. I purposely restarted a brand new account, after five to six years of using my old account, but that changed nothing. The bookmarks aren’t even holding on to Mozilla Firefox desktop site book markers?

I downloaded some images in incognito mode from Images tab by using firefox's "save image" option, but i can't find them in my Downloads folder and Firefox says that i didnt download any files

After updating Firefox for Android, my phone started rebooting after downloading any file. This makes it very difficult to use the browser and I had to use Chrome temporarily. The Crashes tab in About Firefox is empty. I tried to collect a logcat and uploaded it to Google Drive (maybe this will help somehow.): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kmdS5rTH3r0u09KLxeUDeY5U8r5xiEK1/view?usp=sharing. I hope this information is helpful in solving the problem.

I encountered a problem occurring under LineageOS 20 (android 13) on a Sony ZX1 Compact. Can't check if it's the android version or just something with that Lineage ROM (which works perfectly with anything else):

When I make a PDF of a web page with Firefox and then just press "view", the pdf viewer says the file doesn't exist, even though it was saved correctly to the Download folder. Choosing Firefox itself as pdf viewer, I could determine that the viewer gets a file link like this:

content://org.mozilla.firefox.feature.downloads.fileprovider/Download/Download/Kanaren-Wetter%3A%20Sturm-Warnung%20zum%20Wochenende%20ausgegeben.pdf

Which appears to point not to the real Download folder, but perhaps to Firefox' subfolder in the Android/Data folder? The same link is given in any other OS, and normally it always works. Could it have to do with the fact that in LineasgeOS 20 (and quite surely also stock android 13) the Android folder is write protected ?

With some web pages, Firefox provides different links, like: content://media/external_primary/downloads/1000009015 and with those there's no problem. So I think may really be an issue with directory access.

I fiddled around a lot with OS settings and Firefox beta's about:config as well, but to no avail. Also de- and reinstalled Firefox.

Any idea what could be the cause ?

So i browse in private tab, find image and file i want to download. I download them, and few second after the tab is closed or i closing the app, the file delete itself. At best it stays for few minutes. Sometime it delete itself before i close the tab and open the gallery/file manager to check if they still there. Only resulted on me seeing they delete itself.

I used to be able to long press on a video and then get a pop-up menu with the option to save the video. With the most recent versions that doesn't work anymore. It worked fine inversion 115. Please bring that back!

firefox is crashing when i try to download some file. I gotta clear the app's data for it to work normally again, but this always happens when I try to download it again, also, the browser doesn't open after it crashes, only after I clear its data.

I am having a downloading problem in Firefox Android browser. I cannot download from any site. There is no problem in Windows version but there is a downloading problem in Android version.

I am trying to download some files and they are downloading and same can be seen in notifications but when trying to open download from that notification it's not opening, also opening download from side panel shows that there are no downloads, also i am not using incognito and I am signed in.

First problem: downloading image in firefox (android) causes SIM to briefly disconnect, causing internet drops on mobile data for a few seconds. SIM provider and location - GolanTelecom Israel. The browser has about 60 tabs of google search open, cant close them due to valuable data. Disabling addons did nothing. Firefox Nightly does not have this issue, only default Firefox app. Second problem: on some sites downloading images always fails ("Download failed") in mobile version of firefox, on desktop images are downloaded fine , e.g. any post on [ https://www.pixiv.net/en/ ]

Hi, I downloaded webpages as pdfs on FF android and have noticed every page has the timestamp on it. How do l get rid of that? I notice in Chrome it doesn't do that. (Nor does it have the link on every page). I prefer Firefox but want it to download a simple pdf. Thanks for any help.
