I'm writing an extendion wich needs to download a file:

```js

   let url = URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([content + '\n']));

   try {
       const id = await browser.downloads.download(
           {
               filename: "some_name",
               saveAs: false,
               conflictAction: "overwrite",
               url: url
           }
       );

       await browser.downloads.erase({id: id});
   } finally {
       URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
   }

```

If the file does not exist yet, it works great. If the file exists but is exactly the same, it still works. But if there is a need to override the file with different content, the file gets deleted and it is not being replaced.

According to inotifywait, the new file IS created, but immediately deleted.

Do I understand something wrong? What am I supposed to do?

All of the sudden Firefox no longer opening previous windows and tabs on startup, which is how I have had it set up forever.

The last few days, instead of opening previous windows and tabs when I launch FF, it opens mu Home Page. I then have to "reopen previously-closed windows " or "restore previous session."

Regardless of which I choose, I then have to manually close the first FF instance (the one with the single tab - my home page). Then when I'm done with my browser and I X out of it (or Exit" out), when I come back in the same thing happens - I'm presented with my home page, not my open tabs.

unable to play games on pch.com. Apparently firefox has a certificate problem with pch.com.

While I am able to log into my Google account in Chrome, I am unable to do so in Firefox after the latest update. Whenever I try, I am redirected to the attached support page, which asks me to delete cookies and cache contents. Deleting those does not help.

Please help!

When I try to access a movie or get further info by clicking the movie's pic, I get this message, despite deleting my cache and cookies, closing and opening Firefox, shutting and opening my MacBook. Any suggestions most appreciated!

That shouldn't have happened.

It looks like something went wrong on our side. Let's find you a great video to watch instead.

The Governor of Poker site gives me an error message when I try to log in with Firefox:

Your browser does not support graphics API "WebGL 2" which is required for this content.

Not a problem with Google, Edge or other browsers.

Graphics Acceleration is turned on.

Any other thoughts?

I love FF and I appreciate the intentions behind the new update for quick/custom search engines in Firefox 140, but I can't help but notice that the new UI for custom search engines requires the user to manually click on various buttons and does not allow one to navigate the process via keyboard only. (Unless I'm missing something?) Prior to this UI update, I was able to fully navigate the drop-down and select my custom search engine of choice using only my arrow keys and enter key. Now, the "search with XYZ" button that pops up if you type the site name is only selectable if you click on it, and cannot be highlighted with the arrow keys.

I am not personally disabled in a way that prevents me from using my trackpad, but having to stop what I'm typing and go out of my way to click on various UI elements is a real stymie in terms of flow, ease of use, and efficiency. At least for me.

Is there some kind of secret key combo I can use? Or an about:config setting to enable keyboard navigation in custom searches? Is it a bug? Or simply the removal of a feature?

I hope I will be able to use my arrow keys to select my search engine again in the future— Thanks

How to save port or path in Firefox Windows Password Manager, For example: http://192.168.2.111:8080/a_project and http://192.168.2.111:8080/b_project These two addresses have different usernames because different ports represent different projects, So far, accessing this address http://192.168.2.111:8080/a_project It will display http://192.168.2.111:8080/b_project The username and password Because the password manager can only store IP or domain names and cannot store ports and project paths, it is very inconvenient to use for instance: https://localhost:8080 and https://localhost:9090 They actually need to save their respective usernames and passwords separately, but currently they can only https://localhost To save, when I access//localhost: 8080, it still displays the username and password under//localhost: 9090. Is this issue a bug or does it require some configuration to be enabled?

Hi : I have a website that, except for its Index page, is made up entirely of .PDFs. These .PDFs are created from MS Word documents. I noticed that when viewing the site in Firefox, the author of the .PDF pages in the tabs was given as : Microsoft Word [filename]. Accordingly, I made sure the Word files had my name hardcoded into the Info section so that it would be same for all documents I created. I then changed the metadata of the .PDF files to include my name as author and the title of the file. However, 'Microsoft Word [filename]' still appeared in the Firefox tabs. I have no idea where Firefox is getting this information from. Curiously, when I look at my website on Microsoft's Edge browser, the tabs have the correct information : 'Patrick Kearney [filename]'. Any help making Firefox behave in the same way would be much appreciated. I have no desire to switch my browser to Edge or anything else. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I am trying to download a few JPG images from Meetup.com. Here is an example URL:

https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/5/0/a/highres_528673578.jpeg

This is CLEARLY a JPG image from the URL. However, when I right click on the image to Save As the only choice given is AVIF! I cannot open or use AVIF files. As you know the conversion process is LOSSY so trying to convert BACK to a JPG format is not recommended.

It is fine if Firefox and other browsers want to use AVIF format internally but you should, at least, give users the OPTION of downloading the native format.

So how do I fix/configure Firefox to provide the native JPG file download?

Thanks, Steve

How to clear local cache of HTML FILES stored on hard drive, not websites? They are stored. I don't want to flush everything just because there is no option nor list where I could manually do this as with websites cache.

Prior to FF140 the context menu button labels left placeholders on the left that aligned the labels with extension buttons. Currently the labels moved to the left edge, which is a bit annoying after them being in the same place for years.

Was this a planned change or is this a bug I should report to bugzilla?

Curiously, if there is at least one item with a checkbox (e.g. this textbox) all items return to their old alignment. I find that even more distracting.
