Firefox-mienskipsfoarum

I get emails with attachments that I often can't open. I am very NON-tech savvy. It seems jpg opens fairly easily. I got a statement that opened easily, but MANY photo attachments with only "?" - no "jpg" - asked me where to file them, how to name them. I don't know before seeing the attachment. It bothers me to have to call service providers repeatedly and ask them to send things in different formats. Google tells me I can set Mozilla preferences to always open automatically, but now, with AI, I got redirected. Your help will be appreciated!

I've noticed of late that Firefox will not open .webp files in browser, instead automatically downloading without asking (I have the "Always ask you where to save files" option ticked). It then opens the photo in a new tab while leaving the now blank original image tab open with the URL from which it was downloaded. Under the applications section i have set webp images to "open in Firefox" rather than "save file" and would appreciate advice on resolving this issue.

Hello,

Since a recent update, I can no longer drag and drop files from the Firefox downloads panel directly into Outlook Web (webmail) as an email attachment. This used to work fine before.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Download a file (e.g. a PDF) 2. Open the downloads panel (the arrow icon in the toolbar) 3. Try to drag the file from the panel into the attachment area of a new email in Outlook Web 4. The file does not get attached — nothing happens

Expected behavior: the file should be attached to the email, as it was before.

Workaround: I have to open the downloads folder via the folder icon in the panel, then drag from Windows Explorer instead.

Firefox version: 150.0.2 (64-bit) OS: Windows Webmail: Outlook Web (outlook.office.com or outlook.com)

This is a regression, it worked in previous versions. Is there a fix planned?

Thank you.

Hi, I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 home. One of the things that has changed is that my downloads don't stay. After closing Firefox the download is there but if you click on it it says "File missing or moved".

when i download a pdf file, it auto opens on a new tab. i dont want it to auto open. for it to not auto open i have to explictly click on the downloading file, i couldn't find a settings in the settings menu to stop auto opening.

Hi.

I am running Firefox 149.0.2 on Arch Linux (Linux 6.19.12-arch1-1 (x86_64)). I have configured Firefox to use the "~/downloads" folder for downloads instead of the default "~/Downloads". I have also checked the "Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox" box in the "Privacy & Security" tab of the settings page, and configured the History settings to "Never remember history".

The Downloads folder I have set is indeed respected by Firefox: all files I download are saved to "~/downloads". However, every time I close Firefox it creates a folder entitled "Downloads" (with a capital "D") on my home folder. I do not want this folder to be created.

This really looks like a bug from my perspective, but is there some way yo fix this via the "about:config" tab? Thanks for the attention.

When I try to save a file, if the target exists, Firefox defaults to overwriting. I'd rather it default to cancel. At least it works this way in Linux. It defaults to cancelling in Windoze.

Since the last update I can no longer see download progress or click to see my downloads, why?

I now have to menu navigate to get to the setting I used to us and want,

I struggled some time with download links, no matter what filename I specified in the download="filename" attribute, the file I got was always download(1..n). Now I put all into one zip archive. I have a german and an english page, the link is:

Alle Skripte hier zusammen in einem ZIP: <a href="../downloads/backup.zip" title="Download Backup Skripte" class="ilbutton" download>backup.zip</a>

in der deutschen und

Here all together in one zip file: <a href="../downloads/backup.zip" title="Download Backup Skripts" class="ilbutton" download>backup.zip</a>

. I can't see a difference except the language. But: the download of the german link comes as "download.zip". The one from the english one as "backup.zip". WHY???

Thank you for any proposals!

Hello,

As you can see always ask where to save is selected but whenever I download a PDF file it doesn't ask me and it just saves to downloads. How can I fix that?

A couple of years ago the down-loader was not working very well until I found a Beta version and has worked well for you tube . Now a lot of videos when played back are in another language that sounds like French , not sure. my settings are on English and so are you tubes. It has been happening the most when I download Affinity designer tutorials new and old version of affinity . When I listen to the video I'm downloading on you tube it's English as soon as its done downloading its in another language.

I have "Always ask you where to save files" checked but when I save a file I don't get asked where to save the file and it's going into Downloads. I didn't have this issue before. Something isn't working right since the last few updates.

I'm suddenly having a problem where images don't save as .jpg unless I add that myself. At first, it wanted to save images as WebP, but I was able to fix that in the about:config. Now when I go to save an image, it wants to save as Chrome HTML document and I have to click all files and then add .jpg.

As the title says, today I started getting the windows popup about selecting an app to open that file type, every time I download one.

Edit: I figured it out
