Download "null" using Firefox on Android

Hello, I have problems using Firefox on Android, specifically when downloading files (I tried both the new Firefox Nightly and Firebox Beta). Files are downloaded in "null" size (0 bytes) directly to the phone.

I emphasize that Firefox has the permissions to save to the phone (Honor 10 Lite with Android 10.0, EMUI 10.0). Another thing, Firefox doesn't ask me where I want to save the files (like Microsoft Edge, for example).

Gabe.

Hi Gabe

So that I can try to replicate the issue here, do you have an example of a site where this is a problem?

Hi,

Well, I think it happens to me with any website, but especially on sites like banks, for example in mine when I try to download the summaries (in any format: pdf, xls, txt, json). The address is https://www.bod.com.ve. But in other browsers I don't have that problem (Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge for Android).

Hi

Do you have an example of a site where this is happening that we can access?

Hi, sure. For example: https://www.enpass.io/docs/manual-desktop/index.html (user manual in PDF). Firefox downloads the PDF document without problems, but directly on the phone, without asking where I want to save it, and PDF document has errors when trying to open it. In the case of downloading PDF from my bank's website, the file size is "null".
