I've just discovered that a lot of files I've downloaded in the last few months have the original file date instead of the download date. This has created total chaos and confusion with my organization as I have no idea when I did anything!

I presume Firefox has changed something. But why? When? What files does it affect? How do I change it back?

And why weren't we told about this huge change? After over 30 years downloading files from the web, it's become second nature that downloads always take the download date. A monumental change like this needs to be clearly signposted or it's going to create chaos with people's file systems and organization.

Update: On reflection, I think this is a Windows 10 bug, rather than a Firefox issue, so perhaps this thread should be deleted? I looked at the properties of the files in question and discovered that all three dates DO match the download date. The problem seems to be that WINDOWS ITSELF is displaying EXIF data dates instead of modified date. I only recently started using Windows 10 and this would seem to be a Windows 10 bug.

Hi, my PC had some hardware problem and al its data was wiped as procedure, so i had to install everything from zero, this includes Firefox, and when i did so i did the same as usual, download it, open it and log in to sync my data, but there seems to be a problem, all my data is gone, it says its synced and i try to sync it many times, no bookmarks, no extensions, no passwords, nothing, this is my only account too. tried to look up solutions online and saw people talk about 'old Firefox data' folder that can appear on the desktop but nothing for me, tried to go to about:profiles and see what profiles i had and switch to see if its in any or if the folder appears but still nothing, i don't seem to find a solution, i only got the PC back at the end of December last year, and its as far as i can see my Firefox activity here, but I've always used this account and I've synced in multiple PC's with no problem i don't understand what is happening now. thank you

I run Firefox on Fedora Linux (Silverblue). For several releases I've noticed that the reader mode only displays the Close Reader View, Text and Layout, and Theme options and nothing else i.e. no content.

When I run it in troubleshooting mode, it works. I've tried disabling all my extensions, deleting all my extensions,restoring the browser to default settings but nothing makes a difference. I'm always on the latest release (currently 147.0.3). I currently have multiple profiles, but it didn't work even before I rebuilt them. I'm out of ideas.

Any help is appreciated
