Firefox Community Forum

HI Mozilla, I have recently purchased a new laptop and am setting up my desktop icons. I have the latest version of Firefox on both the old one and this one. also Windows 11

On the old computer (which I set up 18 months ago and still works) the desktop icons show the website logo. The correct logo appears for any newly opened websites for which I set a desktop icon.

On this computer all website desktop icons show the Firefox logo and not the website logo. This happens whether I drag the address or the lock symbol. I can change the icon using the inbuilt menu, but this is tedious and I would prefer them be the correct ones.

The correct logo appears if I right click on an app in the start list and drag it to the desktop.

Consequently I think the above is a Firefox problem.

I have been using Firefox for some years very successfully.

I have "Always ask you where to save files" checked in my preferences, yet Firefox saves downloads to my Downloads folder without asking. This was working in the past, it's only recently broken.

I'm using Firefox 140.0.2 on Mac (aarch64).

Since win 11 when I log into my company time system called easyflow and I try and download the time to excel it doesn't open or go to the download folder. Instead a little extra window pops up in the lower bottom left for a second and then dissappears. Nothing is ever on the downloads the file never opens anywhere. Anyone know how to fix this issue??

I use Firefox as my default browser. We I download something (a program update, an xlsx file from my back) I get a downlaod failed, so I have to use another browser to download it.

There are times that I use the screenshot tool on X.com and the filename it saves to is WAY too long. Sometimes it tries to use the entire content of the post as the filename. I see this effect in the title bar as well. Is there a way to change it so it only uses a date/timestamp and nothing else? Attached is an example of this extremely long naming.

I'm writing an extendion wich needs to download a file:

```js

   let url = URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([content + '\n']));

   try {
       const id = await browser.downloads.download(
           {
               filename: "some_name",
               saveAs: false,
               conflictAction: "overwrite",
               url: url
           }
       );

       await browser.downloads.erase({id: id});
   } finally {
       URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
   }

```

If the file does not exist yet, it works great. If the file exists but is exactly the same, it still works. But if there is a need to override the file with different content, the file gets deleted and it is not being replaced.

According to inotifywait, the new file IS created, but immediately deleted.

Do I understand something wrong? What am I supposed to do?

On the Save Page As dialog on Linux, how do I edit the choices of where to save?

The stock options are Home, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Videos, and + Other Locations.

I don't use most of these directories, but I do use two dozen others. Navigating to them using Other Locations is painfully slow; it would be ok if I could then save the location I've navigated to, but I haven't found a way to do that, and clicking one path element at a time for 6 element paths over and over gets old quickly.

Typing the path I want either nukes the default filename, or else it tries to match the filename string from the URL in the target directory, which doesn't show me existing directory contents.

Thanks for any clues...

When I try to save a page as a link, the space for the URL is filled with 'VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV'! How do I fix this? I can't take a screenshot because it disappears when I switch to cut & snip or 'save screen'.

Hi im using the "zen" browser i dent really understand that whole browser, search engine stuff but i think it uses some kind of fire fox. the problem is that when i am on some websites for example chess.com, or this websites the browser is just downloading random .dms files they dont have any content and the name is 100% random here are some examples: 7cPAk3s5.dms, yu5zp0Z3.dms ,gAQGSElz.dms (i hope i didnt leak some stuff) as i said i dont have enough skill to find the problem and on the internet there isnt any info. But i tried some stuff like disable some random stuff but nothing helped this only happends only on the Zen browser and on opera or safary everything is normal. (this isnt my first language, im sorry for any typing mistakes and if anything else is used im happy to provide)
