Firefox domin Android Community Forum

I realize that if a file is served with mime type Content-Type: application/pgp-encrypted, then its extension is changed by Firefox on Android to ".pgp". Apparently, Firefox for Android likes to modify extensions based on mime type.

Can this behavior be disabled?

How do I rename downloads? I've been unable to renames files, images, videos, etc. and they're named after what happens when someone rolls their face on the face keyboard.

Is there a way to do that within the Android mobile browser? Thank you.

Certain homepages (e.g. viofo. com) cause to download and play their videos right away without asking for one's consent. I thought that was due to using the Chrome browser (tried in vain to stop this in the settings of Chrome and Android). Having changed to Firefox browser for Android has not improved this experience yet. Can one switch off the auto video download in Firefox?

how can I configure android Firefox to let me change the name of any downloads without it downloading without giving me a choice?

this is unacceptable browser programming that Mozilla should have FIXED a VERY LONG time ago.

I observed that the "TRY AGAIN button in the notification restarts the failed download in v129.0 even though it used to continue from where it stopped in previous versions. Please 🙏 look into this issue, because for someone like me who downloads many files at once, I don't like seeing duplicate files in my file manager

It usually creates files like "a.png", "a (1).png", "a (1)(1).png", and so on.

I'd like to share the Firefox browser issue.

When we download some video files from any URL, we can control the download progress via Notification card.

If we pause and resume the download progress even once, the video file could not be played even after downloaded completely.

You can find this problem even in the recent firefox version of 129.x

I hope this issue will be resolved in future version of Firefox.

If possible, please share us what is going to be taken about this issue.

I have provided feedback multiple times that whenever a file download needs to be resumed, it fails and restarts from 0MB. I don't understand why you are not taking this issue seriously. I'm forced to use an external downloader. However, there is another problem: I have to select the downloader every time, as there is no option to permanently choose an external downloader.

I understand that changing the file extension of downloads to match the file contents is a protection feature but it is causing me issues on mobile.

I am trying to download .rosz files, they are essential .zip files with a custom extension. These files are generated from one web app and are going to be uploaded into another web app and the receiving app will reject files with the wrong extension. The current behavior changes the file to .zip and requires me to manually locate the downloaded file and rename it back to .rosz .

Is there a setting that I can change to prevent download file extention renaming? I understand the security issues it can present and am willing to accept the risks.

I'm on the android version of firefox.

So i browse in private tab, find image and file i want to download. I download them, and few second after the tab is closed or i closing the app, the file delete itself. At best it stays for few minutes. Sometime it delete itself before i close the tab and open the gallery/file manager to check if they still there. Only resulted on me seeing they delete itself.

Hello. I noticed that on the current version of Firefox browser on Android, there seems to be no button to download the current webpage as a HTML file? Would such a feature be considered in the future?
