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?

Firefox Download Save & Retrieve Folders

The Firefox 'Downloads, Save Files To.." location appears to be disconnected from reality. If I indicate either of the Documents or Desktop folders as the preferred save location, both of those folders present as being empty when in fact they both have numerous files/directories. Even if I try to save in "+ Other Locations", those locations are limited to the same as presented in the 'Browse' window of Home, Desktop, Documents and Downloads. Only the Downloads folder displays correctly.

Also as a result of this limited save location, I can only retrieve a file from the Downloads folder (the attached file was saved in my Documents folder but I had to move it to Downloads.

Why does the saving behavior behave like this?

Firefox 135.0 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 22.04.5. When trying to save any file (download, save image etc.) or trying to attach a file (in web-based gmail client or WhatsApp web client) nothing happens. Tried to refresh, switch off all extensions, clear download history - nothing helped. Chrome works on the same machine like a charm...

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you

I wanted to find information on my question, so I visited a website, and some file named CcRNEMIH.htm was downloaded (with a Firefox icon). I deleted it, scanned my computer, and found nothing. Then I visited the website again, and nothing else was downloaded. Then I checked my downloads folder and saw that under the file name, there was a resource called moz-safe-about. What could it have been?

Hi,

My application has recently been incorrectly flagged as dangerous by Firefox when downloading from https://librelancer.net/downloads.html, particularly when downloading https://librelancer.net/builds/librelancer-sdk-daily-win64.zip

Checking the URL at google safebrowsing https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing seems to show a clean report.

Is there a way of submitting the file as a false positive, as it is affecting my users.
