Firefox for Android Community Forum

Posted this in Google Play Store reviews and was told to post here:

Frustrated with latest update to the download UI. When you save an image for example, the Download Progress and Download Complete pop-up can be swiped away to hide the pop-up before it naturally fades, but the area of the screen it occupied remains uninteractable for a period of time anyway. If you try to tap anything in that area, or swipe to scroll a page by starting the swipe in that area, nothing will happen. It's as if the pop-up is still there, just not visually. Hoping this gets fixed.

Additionally, it seems awkwardly difficult to swipe away the pop-up as well, requiring almost an entire screen width of swipe to make it properly disappear.

1. download manager is teribble, it doesnt show what percentage or of file has been downloaded or remains? It only shows when file has comlpletely downloaded. It would be way better if it show details and give control during download.

How can I make Firefox for Android show a window after clicking a download link with a selection of the application through which the link should be opened? I had this after selecting the "manage downloads using another application" option, but I messed something up and now Firefox downloads the file immediately.

Hello. I just noticed that something that was downloaded from firefox mobile that goes missing one or two minutes after being downloaded.

first time I encountered them when I was downloading zip file about 700mb and then I left em to be finished when suddenly realized it was gone. firstly I think that was an error with the download, then I proceed download smaller files which was 10mb videos. after one or two minutes the file was gone from my gallery, no trace from download list either.

When I download files from websites, the download list will never display what is going on, although the status bar will display. If I want to stop downloading, I have to turn off the wifi or kill the program process. When tabs appear at the bottom, they block web content. I know it hides when I swipe down, but the web page prohibits content for me to scroll down and I'm going to be bothered.

Hello,

When I download images or videos using Firefox on my Android phone, the files disappear after some time. They are also removed from my Downloads history in Firefox.

Files downloaded from other apps (such as Discord,chrome) remain, so this issue seems to occur only with Firefox. Could you please help me understand why this is happening and how to prevent it?

Thank you.

When downloading, the popup that tells you that the download is complete no longer has a little X you can push to get rid of it, you have to swipe. What is worse is tagtbit STAYS up until you do! Who thought this up some kind of sadist?!

Why Mozilla don't have download manager like mozilla PC We need it cuz the application use the phone download manager and it's trash if click in download its stop Exit from it stop and its very slow really snail We need it application is perfect why don't have this future

Pls do it 🙏🥺

I don't know if there's anywhere else that allows you to report bugs, so I'll do it here. Currently, you cannot swipe away download pop-ups on the mobile version of firefox beta and it covers screen elements for as long as it persists. It's a minor bug that removes your ability to tap anything on the bottom of the screen for 20 seconds or so when it timesout. An example is in the image I gave. The screen pop-up continues to block any interactions behind it.

I want to change my download directory on the mobile app, I've tried the solution of this post, but it doesn't seem to be working anymore, I can't find any other solution

Firefox for Android is my favorite, but its download manager is not that special, sometimes a file gets downloaded, but mostly the big files fail and do not get downloaded at all, I request you to make the firefox download manager even better like the download manager of Brave and Chrome browser.
