download fails / times out on firefox android (daylight) 82.1.1
hi
just encountered this issue this evening.
running firefox daylight 82.1.1 (latest available on google play) on a samsung S8 / android 9 (official carrier OTA release Sep 2020).
tried to download an APK. I get the firefox download notification, etc, but it doesn't complete. It eventually times out.
Tested over home wifi and 4G
Also tested with a random PDF download - replicated issue.
note i'm not the only user reporting this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/jjgegd/8211_android_not_downloading_files/
I've found a fix of sorts. Force stop then moving back to firefox allows download to complete.
problem also exists in 82.1.0
Problem doesn't exist in 81.1.5 i.e. rolling back to 81.1.5 allows downloads to behave normally.
This is frustrating. I've just wasted probably an hour doing testing and documenting the problem.
Is this a known issue?
Is there a bug ticket or a resolution time?
Regards,
Gary

Hi
Apologies for not responding sooner, but I hope that the update can be released soon that resolves this issue.
sadly latest public release - 82.1.3 - does NOT fix issue
The fix is due to land in Firefox for Android 83.
