Although I have checked "Always Ask" to specify my download location, duplicates are still being saved in "Downloads". I recently "upgraded" to Windows 11 but do not know if it is connected. FF version 138.0.3 (64-bit). How can I prevent this please?

Firefox 138.03 Windows 11 Pro

I have had this issue for previous versions of FF and in Windows 10.

I have set FF to save in d:\downloads but to always ask. It does ask and I then direct it to the specific folder that I want to the save the file to be downloaded in. I change the name of the file and FF saves the file to that folder. However, FF also saves a copy of the file, with its original name, in the D:\downloads folder. Is there a way to prevent FF from saving the duplicate file? Thank you

edit. Sorry, I just found others with the same issue. As I understand it, there is no way to prevent FF from saving duplicates.

As of May 15, this change started.

Previously (May 14 and before), and downloaded file that has the same name as a previous downloaded file would be given a version name in parentheses. As of May 15th, any repeat-named download is given a hyphen instead. This is a serious problem, because I use the parenthetical version numbers for version control of many files.

How can I switch this back?

Hi Firefox Support Community,

I’ve been using a mindfulness tool called CalMyTime Calmytime for quick relaxation exercises during my workday, and I’d love to integrate something similar into my Firefox browsing experience. I’m looking for a Firefox extension that can remind me to take short mindfulness breaks at set intervals (e.g., every hour) or even open a specific webpage like Calmytime automatically. I’ve searched the Firefox Add-ons store but haven’t found one that fits this exact need.

Has anyone here used or developed an extension for scheduling well-being breaks? Alternatively, is there a way to set up Firefox to trigger timed reminders or open a webpage without an extension? I’m using Firefox 128 on Windows 10. Any recommendations or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help!

I mean when choosing: "Set image as desktop background" and a window opens, in that window a combo box should be between choosing "Desktop Wallpaper" and "Lock Screen wallpaper", and if there are multiple displays another combox box for what display or for all.
