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

FF 140.4.0 - Paths shown in save window (toolbar at top, folder in navigation panel) are wrong

What follows describes what I think is an annoying bug, and as I'm writing a draft of the bug report, I thought I'd post it here first to make sure it's understandable, and if possible to get others to confirm the bug.

In Tools - Settings - Files and Applications, with the following settings: - Always ask you where to save files is ON - What should Firefox do with other files? is set to Ask whether to open or save files

If a file type is not defined in the Applications list/grid, Firefox 140.4.0esr displays the Open or Save box (only Save for .exe files) If you click Save, FF opens a save window according —logically— to the path defined in Tools - Settings - Files and Applications - Downloads, so - The list of files shown to the right is correct, - But the path shown in the toolbar above it is wrong (> ComputerName > C:\ > in my case), - And the selected folder in the navigation column to the left is also wrong (ComputerName in my case)

and that always throws me off.

The bug appeared before FF v140.4.0

Test downloads - Go to https://openexr.com/en/latest/test_images/TestImages/AllHalfValues.htm and click the link below the AllHalfValues.exr title - Go to https://www.picsellia.com/post/tiff-tag-image-file-format and right-click on one of the pictures at the top, select Save Image as from the context menu.

Please post a brief message below to confirm or invalidate my finding. Thanks!

I was for reason having to default to LibraOffice and I really did not like that. I switched to FireFox so that I can open files through this browser instead. For some reason I download the files and it should take me to view the file in FireFox. I cannot view it at all. I wanted to be able to view the files in FireFox and then I can sync it with Google Docs and then open some of my files into google docs and I do not have to deal with LibraOffice. Why can I not view my files?

Firefox used to save unknown files according to the save files setting. i.e. ask where to save files. Now if opens unknown files as text in a new tab.

How can the correct behavior be restored?

Alternately, can the Linux snap be fixed to allow saving of new file types? {The procedure shown in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file is not present in the firefox 141 snap.
