The behavior of FireFox saving PDF files has changed. I am using WIN10, FireFox 98.0.1 and have it setup to use windows default application and always ask where to save for PDFs.
BEFORE the problem: The PDF opens in Acrobat Pro IX. After clicking save I would be asked, where to save. I select the location to save the PDF. Then after this, subsequent PDFs downloaded would be saved to the last saved location. This process would repeat for a new website PDF load and save. This is the behavior I want now.
NOW with the problem: The PDF opens in Acrobat Pro IX.
1. Immediately, after a reboot, the save icon on Adobe is grayed out. I select save as and point to the desired directory.
2. For any subsequent PDF opened, the Adobe save icon is available. Files are saved to the desktop.
Please note I believe I once did get a popup asking where to save and I know I selected desktop. Since that selection I am no longer asked where to save.
Please note I have looked and tried some of the suggestions at:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cant-download-or-save-files#w_choose-a-different-download-folder
but some of this advice needs to be updated for the new FireFox version--ex no JSON file is found at the file location covered in the advice.
I believe this issue started after the last FireFox update. Please help me restore behavior listed above under “BEFORE the problem”. Thanks.
