"Always Ask Where To Save Files" Doesn't DO ANYTHING for files that open in-browser

My settings: Downloads: save files to: [custom default folder, unimportant] Always ask you where to save files: ENABLED

Applications: PDFs: Open In Firefox (because when the browser has such a nice built-in pdf viewer of course I would like to use it)

Expected behavior: Browser will open the dialog box for where to save the pdf, save the pdf, then open it in the in-browser viewer from the location it just saved to. Or possibly: save the file to TEMP and then open it in browser, I can see the argument for that behavior, though it wouldn't be my first instinct.

Actual behavior: Browser blindly saves the pdf to the specified default folder, then opens it in the in-browser viewer.

What is the actual point of the ALWAYS ask checkbox here? From what I can find extant on the forums the devs somehow don't seem to consider this a bug, so does anyone know how to wrangle the config page and/or some kind of extension into producing the actual logical behavior for these settings?

i want to know why firefox extension reporting requires the user to check a box near text that says that the user is telling the 'complete' and 'accurate' truth. that's impossible for a human. it's also cruel and unusual. why does mozilla apparently assume that every user is a judge and a lawyer in the united states who is also God? it doesnt make any sense.

See the attached image: I have sub-folders Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu, and Other Bookmarks all within a folder called All Bookmarks. The first two are empty, every single one of my bookmarks is in the Other Bookmarks sub-folder. I can't delete any of these folders. On which planet does this make sense?

The "All Bookmarks" super-folder should have all the folders in the Other Bookmarks sub-folder and it's three current children should all be send to an orphanage.

Any way to accomplish this? Obviously the folder names are unimportant (At least to me).

Thanks for any efforts!

While I'm using Firefox, I try to go to a new website and Firefox says that it's installing a new version and I need to stop what I'm doing and restart. When Firefox restarts, it forces me to create a new profile and I've lost everything I had before.

This happens two or three times a day.

Hallo, ich finde auf deutsche keine Support-Seite um eine Frage zu stellen. Auf meinem alten WIN10 Pc lässt sich Firefox nicht mehr starten. Ich öffne es aus der Taskleiste oder von der Verknüpfung auf dem Desktop. Es tut sich aber nichts. Ausführen als Admin hilft auch nicht Ich hab dann über den Taskmanager geschaut ob das Programm im Hintergrund läuft. Dort wird es auch nicht angezeigt. Ich hab dann Firefox gelöscht und neu installiert. Aber das hilft nichts. Ich habe keine Ahnung was ich sonst machen kann. Über Google findet man dazu absolut nichts. Alles hat funktioniert aber von einem auf den anderen Tag ging nichts mehr. An meinem Anitvirus-Programm kann es NICHT liegen. Auch mit deaktiviertem Antivirus-Programm startet Firefox nixht mehr. Bitte um technischen Support. Danke

Hello, I can't find a support page in German to ask a question. Firefox won't start on my old Windows 10 PC anymore. I try opening it from the taskbar or the shortcut on the desktop. But nothing happens. Running as administrator doesn't help either. I checked the Task Manager to see if the program was running in the background. It's not showing up there either. I then deleted Firefox and reinstalled it. But that didn't help. I have no idea what else I can do. I can't find anything about this on Google. Everything was working fine, but then suddenly it stopped working. It can't be my antivirus program. Even with the antivirus program disabled, Firefox still won't start. Please provide technical support. Thank you.
