Hi, recently my firefox for android has stopped downloading pdfs from my universitys webpage. It now opens the document as a link in the browser and there is no easy way to download it (or maybe I am blind and just cant find the option, not sure at this point). The links look like: 

https://www.ili.universityx.de/goto_elearning_file_1085576_download.html

Is there some "automatically download files" option or similar? In any case, thank you in advance!

Hi

If you open the share option from the Firefox for Android menu, you should see the option to save the file as a pdf to your device.
