Hi everyone. I hope you're doing well.

So, I've been thinking about downloading the Firefox browser for Android but I am worried.

I saw this among the app permissions on Google Play Store: "download files without notification". And I am worried.

And I need to know:

- What files does Firefox download without notification?

- Why does Firefox download files without notification?

- When does Firefox download files without notification?

- Why and how should I trust an app to the have the ability to download anything it desires at anytime it desires without my knowledge or my choice to accept or decline?

Could you please help me and tell how this app is safe?

Thanks. Have a good day!

instagram.com not asking for notification permission, so I'm not able to receive notifications from this site.

Someone else experiencing this? Is there something that I and/or Firefox and/or Instagram can do to fix this?

CONFIGS

  • Settings> Sites Permission> Notifications is set to Ask to allow
  • there's no record of instagram.com on Settings> Sites Permission> Exceptions
  • Tested also with addons disabled
  • Firefox version: 117.1.0 (Build #2015973691), from Google Play Store
  • Oneplus 11


Ps: Tested on Google Chrome and the site asks for this permission
