Firefox for Android Community Forum

Everytime I try to save an Image or video file, Firefox on Android just says download failed without explaining how or why.

I've tried clearing the cache. I've tried clearing download and search history. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app.

I don't know what else to do.

Hi!

This seems to be related to whatever issue was happening on Firefox when "Fixed an issue where data consumption from service workers may unexpectedly halt (Bug 1941210)." was done and consequently fixed it. My issue in particular has to do with trying to import yomitan dictionaries on mobile and it aborts midway through and says there was an JSON.parse error. Looking at it on GitHub, there was an issue like this with yomitan and Firefox and seemed to have been fixed by Firefox (on desktop?) but this continues to happen. The yomitan issue on GitHub was "Importing dictionaries stuck on validation step #1765" and wasn't a problem on yomitan's end but specifically Firefox. I have tried importing with other browsers on mobile and the only issue I've run into has been the size of files, not the error Firefox shows.

Thank you for any assistance.

The download will stop and refuse to download and saw failed I can't monitor the download in the app only on the notification if ín clear it the download fails even without clearing it it will just stop at 46gb and refuse to download the rest 31.33mb refuse to download the rest it's not my network I'm a android user

Seemingly whenever and wherever I try to download an image on Firefox Nightly for android, it's strangely deleted in a few minutes or less. I see that people get a similar issue in private browsing, but even in normal browsing, all my images that I download are deleted. When I look in downloads in Firefox, there's no record of them being downloaded. I've verified that Chrome and Samsung Internet work just fine; I can download images on them without them being deleted, and it occurs on any website. My phone is a Samsung S21+ for reference. It doesn't happen for certain images, but it happens enough to where it's a big problem.
