Why doesn't Firefox ask me where to save a potential file when in Settings, "Always ask you where to save files" is checked?

I run Win10, and Firefox recently updated. I use https://partners.titantv.com/default.aspx as a TV guide for my Hauppauge TV tuner card. When I click on a program I want the PC to record, I click the red dot, which creates a program.tvpi file in my Downloads folder (see image attached). Up until recently, this type of file was associated so that clicking the red dot would automatically put it into the Hauppauge recording queue. However, the latest Firefox upgrade took that association away. So, now I have to double-click the program.tvpi file in the Downloads folder to activate it. Is there a way to re-associate it? I tried right-clicking the red dot, but there's no choice. I didn't see it in the Firefox, Settings, General, Applications feature. Thank you for the help.

Proposed solution: "I believe you also need to go into Tools -> Settings -> General and set the Action for the types of downloads (Applications) to Always Ask for those types you want it to."
But this workaround should not be needed. "Always ask" means always ask. As in always. No other additional steps should be needed.
Can you folks please open a bug to get this fixed? This used to work just fine in (much) older versions of Firefox and Netscape. "Always ask" is supposed to mean always ask. Like, always.

I have Firefox set to "ask me every time" what to do with doc and docx files. When I click on one, I get the popup shown in the image. As it shows, for some reason, okular (a pdf viewer) is shown as the pre-selected "open with" option. The dropdown menu also includes LibreOffice Writer, and says (correctly) that this is the default program.
I cannot find any setting on my system where Okular has been associated with doc files. So I think this is a Firefox problem.
How do I remove Okular from this dropdown, or at least make LibreOffice Writer the default pre-selected option?

I get emails with attachments that I often can't open. I am very NON-tech savvy. It seems jpg opens fairly easily. I got a statement that opened easily, but MANY photo attachments with only "?" - no "jpg" - asked me where to file them, how to name them. I don't know before seeing the attachment. It bothers me to have to call service providers repeatedly and ask them to send things in different formats. Google tells me I can set Mozilla preferences to always open automatically, but now, with AI, I got redirected. Your help will be appreciated!

I've noticed of late that Firefox will not open .webp files in browser, instead automatically downloading without asking (I have the "Always ask you where to save files" option ticked). It then opens the photo in a new tab while leaving the now blank original image tab open with the URL from which it was downloaded. Under the applications section i have set webp images to "open in Firefox" rather than "save file" and would appreciate advice on resolving this issue.

Hi there,
I'm wondering if I am experiencing intended behavior or if I've stumbled upon a bug. I am sometimes downloading files in a staggered manner (i.e., waiting for files to finish downloading before I start the next file downloads). However, any file after the first in that session shows an inaccurate progress indicator in the toolbar which includes progress of the already completed downloads.
For example, if I download two files completely, then start the download of two new files and both sit at 0%, the progress bar for the downloads actually shows 50% completed (2 files at 100%, 2 files at 0% -> Average of 4 files at 50%). I can't imagine this is intended behavior, for I imagine users would like to know how their current downloads are progressing only. This behavior is only fixed when I clear previous downloads, which resets the list to only active downloads, or when I restart the browser and start a new session.
Is there a setting where I can make the indicator report only active downloads?
Any insight is welcomed, thank you.

Firefox 150.0.1 Ubuntu 22.04
Problem: When downloading a file from a web page, the list of files and folders in the Download Panel are sorted such that file names and folder names are intermingled, rather than the "standard" folders first, then files.
Discussion: This problem has been happening for a bit now (probably 2 - 3 months or more). Unfortunately, I don't recall exactly which version of Firefox this originally showed up in. At some point recently, the default sort for the Download Panel changed, so that instead of listing folders at the top of the list of download targets, then listing files, now all items are interspersed. For example, previously selecting to download a file from a web page would give the Download Panel contents as:
AFolder BFolder CFolder AFile.txt BFile.pdf CFile.jpg
Now, the list presents as:
AFile.txt AFolder BFile.pdf BFolder CFile.jpb CFolder
I would like to go back to the previous sorting behavior, but I cannot find a way to do this. I have searched the Mozilla help articles without turning up relevant information, and I have searched the internet for web sites that might list relevant information, but either the information I am seeking is not out there (unlikely) or I am not coming up with search terms that locate the information (much more likely).
I am not even 100% sure that this is a Firefox problem (it is within the bounds of possibility that it is an OS problem), but none of my other regularly used programs show the symptom, so it would seem odd to me for it to be something other than a Firefox problem.
I would appreciate any pointers (web pages, help articles, or even just "change this in about:config) on how to resolve this.

Hello,
Since a recent update, I can no longer drag and drop files from the Firefox downloads panel directly into Outlook Web (webmail) as an email attachment. This used to work fine before.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Download a file (e.g. a PDF) 2. Open the downloads panel (the arrow icon in the toolbar) 3. Try to drag the file from the panel into the attachment area of a new email in Outlook Web 4. The file does not get attached — nothing happens
Expected behavior: the file should be attached to the email, as it was before.
Workaround: I have to open the downloads folder via the folder icon in the panel, then drag from Windows Explorer instead.
Firefox version: 150.0.2 (64-bit) OS: Windows Webmail: Outlook Web (outlook.office.com or outlook.com)
This is a regression, it worked in previous versions. Is there a fix planned?
Thank you.

It seems that a few days ago my Firefox was (involuntarily) updated in the course of another update (Linux): Previously, after Ctrl-S I could immediately start editing the name of the downloaded .html file, usually replacing it: the .html was retained, but the main part was highlighted and replaced automatically with the first typed character. Now one has to highlight the name with "select all" and also take care of the .html suffix. This is highly inconvenient if one wants to change the (usually) much too long names. Is there a chance (option?) to get the old behaviour back? (By the way, not connected with this change: It is annoying that Firefox silently changes `:` to `_´ in desired names though these are perfectly legal in Linux.) (and I would like to be able to use Firefox save to command from the command line.

Hi.
I am running Firefox 149.0.2 on Arch Linux (Linux 6.19.12-arch1-1 (x86_64)). I have configured Firefox to use the "~/downloads" folder for downloads instead of the default "~/Downloads". I have also checked the "Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox" box in the "Privacy & Security" tab of the settings page, and configured the History settings to "Never remember history".
The Downloads folder I have set is indeed respected by Firefox: all files I download are saved to "~/downloads". However, every time I close Firefox it creates a folder entitled "Downloads" (with a capital "D") on my home folder. I do not want this folder to be created.
This really looks like a bug from my perspective, but is there some way yo fix this via the "about:config" tab? Thanks for the attention.
