after the latest firefox update my screenshots will no longer download to my desktop but are sent directly to my downloads folder on windows 11. It has worked for years downloading to my desktop...what did you do? All the settings are set for DESKTOP ie, my computer and firefox but it will not work. Can you please help me?

Is is possible to disable the Autorun feature for downloaded video files in Firefox? I tried the Settings, Privacy & Security, Autoplay changing the setting to Block Audio & Video, but after the file downloads it still runs automatically.

Dear Firefox Team,

I am writing to suggest a new feature that I believe would significantly enhance the user experience in Firefox.

Currently, when we encounter a PDF file on the web, Firefox only allows us to view or download it as a PDF. It would be incredibly beneficial if, when a user clicks on a PDF link (or during the download prompt), there was an option to choose whether to download the file as a PDF or as a JPG image.

This functionality would save users a considerable amount of time and effort by eliminating the need to use third-party online converters or desktop software to transform PDFs into JPGs. This is particularly useful for extracting images or specific pages from documents for quick sharing, presentations, or website use.

I believe this feature aligns with Firefox's commitment to user convenience and efficiency. Thank you for considering this suggestion."

Guten Abend, bisher konnte ich wenn ich mit Firefox arbeite und etwas herunter geladen habe, den Bereich für alle Downloads anzeigen immer als Tab anzeigen lassen, auch ohne dafür ein Addon zu installieren. Nachdem ich Firefox nun auf einem anderen Computer neu installiert habe, kriege ich diesen Bereich nur noch als neues Fenster angezeigt, was ich als sehr störend empfinde. Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen, wie ich das wieder so einstellen kann, das die Downloads wieder als Tab werden? ich weiß leider nicht mehr wie ich dies damals umgestellt hatte.

so I personally never use the Download Directory, because I anyway always select the Download location. but even though I set the location to XYZ it creates a ~/Download Directory. I Also tired to set the default download location directly to my Home directory, but it still creates the ~/Download Directory.

I am not sure if it's a bug or if I can disable it, or if Firefox need too do it. but it becomes annoying to always delete the ~/Download Directory.

maybe it is an OS septic problem? (ArchLinux btw) but I highly doubt that.

so why does it always, and I mean always create a ~/Download Directory when I download, even though I never selected it, it's Just empty e.c.t.

To preface this, I am not sure if this is caused by my OS (Ubuntu 24.04) or by the way Firefox tends to work on Linux as other issues have been (and therefore, might be resolved with a change in about:config).

Problem: When I download a file and download another one right after that one, the window showing the folder I am choosing to download to won't show the file/image preview of the file I just downloaded before; it only shows the correct preview once I have opened the file manager on my OS; after doing that the file preview is up to date again. (basically, it only shows the correct file preview when I viewed the files on my desktop before opening the download window and will not keep up to date with the most recent changes on its own like it does on Windows for example)
