.qfx and .ofx download bug after v98 update

When downloading financial data to Moneydance software, the download correctly opens Moneydance and update data file correctly, but after v98 Firefox update a second identical .qfx file is downloaded to my desktop which I then have to securely delete as a redundant file on my PC.... This is new behavior, has always worked perfectly previously. Firefox settings under Files and Application header are as follows: Downloads: Save files to Desktop Applications: Actions are set to use Moneydance.exe for all OFX and QFX financial data

The extra file showing up on my desktop is new and unwanted. It seems to be unneeded as it can be deleted without any obvious effect and no loss of data in Moneydance

I'm buying a new computer and I'm wondering is there a method/procedure that I can use to transfer the entire FF browser including settings, extensions, bookmarks, and passwords without having to reinstall all those items individually? I know I can save and import bookmarks but what about everything else? I look forward to anyone comments. Thanks

Hello, I am trying to download some txt files via firefox in an automatic fashion using the python webbrowser API. Firefox opens the txt files directly in the tab, which leads to all kind of unwanted behavior when trying to use the right click save option. Is it possible just to save the txt files? Looking at previous forum entries, I tried changing the Content-Disposition and Content-Type via plugin, but they did not seem to affect the link given. Thanks

I am having a problem using "Page Down" with Firefox 99.0.1 64 Bit on Windows 10. Specifically, when I click on the "PgDn" button the page only goes down for a few clicks then it goes back to the top of the page on the next click. I am having the same problem with "Arrow Down," "Mouse Wheel Down," etc.

Firefox Can’t Open This Page To protect your security, accounts.google.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window

Everytime I try 'open it in a new window' it just takes me to my Google site 'sign in' page.

Mozilla clearly lost it with their unique identifier, anyways i got a question on this topic.

If i download Firefox here https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release there will be a unique identifier, but if download it here https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ There won't be such an identifier.

So, which is the better option since i know little about mozilla.org not sure if it's secure. Also when i download from the first link, what will the unique identifier track exactly since i open my browser and paste the URL for download, i don't come to the downloadsite from any other site or search result, i directly go there, so what will happen with the identification in that case? I know i had a similar thread before, but question is still open.

Until the last FF release (99), when I downloaded files from my bank for MSMoney FF would apply the action to use the MS Money import handler. Not anymore. FF will now only save the file. Even if I choose "always ask" it still just saves the file - never asks what to do with it (save or open with). Please fix this. It's worked fine for decades and now doesn't work at all. I tried adding images to show what happens but the ones that show what FF is doing and the FF settings won't upload. Only the banking download page images will upload. They just show that I pick MSMoney as the download format.

I am being forced to use google/chrome more and more as I cannot get into sites using Firefox as a browser. Most recently I tried to pay my Target account online and get getting an error message. I would put in my user name and pw, hit enter and the fields would blank out with boxes noting "this field is required." I did this 3 times--same outcome. It didn't tell me the credentials were wrong, it would just blank out. I went to chrome and put in the same credentials and after 2 factor authentication using email, was able to get into my account. This is also happening on the citibank site as well as several sites I use for work.

I am browsing the a proxy solution that is configured to block malicious files. I was testing the eicar file download through https://www.eicar.org/?page_id=3950. When I click on the download, my download is blocked and nothing happens (which is expected). However, if I right-click on the file and select "Save Link as" option, I get the block message, I get the pop-up window to save the file, and Firefox creates a file in the specified location. However, the file is invalid (obviously as the download was blocked). If I try the same with another Browser (like Chrome), it gives an error "Failed - Forbidden" for the download.

Trying to understand how Firefox handles such instances, does it first create a file in the specified location, even the file is not retrieved through the proxy? Why is firefox not giving an error message similar to other browsers if it actually fails to download the file.

This problem has been reported over and over for over 3 years. Why should the solution be to turn off syncing?

In addition to preventing the problem from occurring, Firefox needs to provide a fix to eliminate duplicate bookmarks in bulk.
