Firefox Community Forum

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

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

I know with the implementation of this new CEO, he plans to add more garbage AI to the browser we've all been using to avoid all the new AI tool crap just to steal our data and sell it to a third-party. I have been a long, dedicated user to Mozilla Firefox since I was in middle school and played games with my friends, I'm an adult now and have never particularly been interested in using Chrome or any of the hundreds of Chromium based browsers. I've always stayed dedicated to Mozilla Firefox because the browser was specifically made to be user friendly and open-source. If you take that away I won't be using Mozilla Firefox anymore, I will just move to the next open source project for a browser.

I can't wait until this AI bubble bursts so we don't have to deal with any of this garbage any longer.

Do you have a set date to when you're going to be implementing this big change so I can have a proper funeral for one of the best browsers to be taken outback and put down into the AI slop this new CEO wants it to be?

The offline package download speed is too slow and sometimes fails. I hope it can be provided separately, like interface language packs, just as Debian has separate interface language packs.
