On the Save Page As dialog on Linux, how do I edit the choices of where to save?

The stock options are Home, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Videos, and + Other Locations.

I don't use most of these directories, but I do use two dozen others. Navigating to them using Other Locations is painfully slow; it would be ok if I could then save the location I've navigated to, but I haven't found a way to do that, and clicking one path element at a time for 6 element paths over and over gets old quickly.

Typing the path I want either nukes the default filename, or else it tries to match the filename string from the URL in the target directory, which doesn't show me existing directory contents.

Thanks for any clues...

When I try to save a page as a link, the space for the URL is filled with 'VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV'! How do I fix this? I can't take a screenshot because it disappears when I switch to cut & snip or 'save screen'.

Hi im using the "zen" browser i dent really understand that whole browser, search engine stuff but i think it uses some kind of fire fox. the problem is that when i am on some websites for example chess.com, or this websites the browser is just downloading random .dms files they dont have any content and the name is 100% random here are some examples: 7cPAk3s5.dms, yu5zp0Z3.dms ,gAQGSElz.dms (i hope i didnt leak some stuff) as i said i dont have enough skill to find the problem and on the internet there isnt any info. But i tried some stuff like disable some random stuff but nothing helped this only happends only on the Zen browser and on opera or safary everything is normal. (this isnt my first language, im sorry for any typing mistakes and if anything else is used im happy to provide)

Sequoia 15.5 Firefox 139.0.1

Firefox recently enforced an update. After this update, I can no longer open file browser for attachments if a website offers this option (example: this very form, Browse... button does nothing). I can also not Save to PDF any more. In both instances, a spinning wheel will appear and then nothing will occur.

Hello to everybody, I repeat my question and hope it can besolved persistantly: Opening local .mdb files (MS Access database) does no longer work in Firefox 139, but was ok in previous releases. The only choice is to save the file rather than opening it with the application MS access. Under Firefox settings/applications the file type .mdb does not appear, nor do I have a choice to decide how to open it. I expect to find an entry for .mdb files where to choose "always ask" as was the case earlier. Please help! Regards Volker Zipp

Decades ago, browsers had features to download the current web page along with linked pages and store them locally including updating the downloaded main page's links to reference the linked copies. It was even possible to specify how many link levels to copy along with the main page.

when web page sidebars became popular this became problematic for a while since sidebars often linked to ads or unrelated content (Wikipedia or GitHub for example). Then browsers started providing a means to disable webpage sidebars and display only the main page.

I can't find any of that capability in Firefox. I have searched the settings, extensions, Firefox support pages and found almost nothing related to simply saving web pages.

I fear that some day the website 'UESPWiiki' which provides support for my favorite game which is now (2025) 19 years old will some day go away. UESPWiki has side bars preventing simply downloading everything. Help.

I posted this a while back but the person who responded didn't understand the issue..

For the past year or so every single thing I download from Firefox ESR has a padlock. The padlock doesn't prevent me opening files but it only started recently and no changes to my PC or Firefox settings.

Examples:

• Download a PDF attachment from an email.
• When on ANY website if I click 'print' and save the page as a PDF to my PC.
• Since this week alone: Export bookmarks to HTML now saving to desktop with padlock.

To be clear: This is strictly a Firefox issue... To test I opened https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox in FF, clicked 'print', saved to desktop as PDF and the PDF has a padlock. Opened the same page on Edge did the same thing and the PDF has no padlock. (The person who responded thought it had to do with security settings on the website I was on, this 'test' clearly shows it's a FF issue.)

There are no padlocks on ANY file or folder I create myself. I have to remove every padlock manually by adding 'users' under properties/edit/add,

IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS ISSUE?

Firefox web browser will not download latest firefox browser from firefox website! It comes up with this "Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to download.mozilla.org because this website requires a secure connection."
