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?

FireFox keep saving torrent links to Downloads folder

Hi Guys,

FireFox keeps saving Torrent links to my Downloads folder even though I have set it to just open the links directly with my torrent client. This is super frustrating having to go into my downloads folder on a daily basis just to delete a laundry list of .torrent files. How do I get this crap to PERMANENTLY stop from downloading and just opening directly with my torrent client?

Mozilla (and this feature of Firefox forcibly downloading files to my drives after being specifically marked to be opened DIRECTLY), is just Mozilla and FireFox purposely & forcefully shortening the lifespan of my SSD's. By forcing these link files to be downloaded to my Downloads folder (filling it up with crap) which in turn is forcing me to constantly delete these (link files) is causing unnecessary extra wear on my SSD!! I live in South Africa where an SSD costs the same as 8 MONTHS worth of utilities (electricity and gas). So we tend not to look kindly on unnecessary wear and tear... especially if there is a function to minimize this but it simply doesn't work as it's supposed to.

Please give me a way to completely and permanently STOP FireFox from downloading these magnet links to my SSD or kindly recommend a better/different browser that doesn't do this.... just like the "old FireFox" didn't.

Thank you.

Firefox unable to Print a PDF

Hello there,

I'm a relatively new adopter of Firefox so please bear with me.

First off let me say that my Brother Printer is working fine. Word documents as well as non-PDF documents print correctly and cleanly from 3rd party applications as well as Firefox. That is until I open up a PDF document and attempt to print it and see: "Printer in an error state." Clearing out the print cue and or restarting the printer, does nothing to resolve this issue.

See attached image from the printer cue.

Digging into my system (Windows 11) everything appears fine, drivers are up-2-date, and all other applications that can use the printer do so without issue. Briefly re-installing Chrome, I'm able to print the PDF without issue. Which strongly suggests that this is an issue native to the Firefox browser. Odds are if I'm seeing this issue, loads of other users are as well.

Looking forward to your replies.... Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

-Kevin

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.
