1. download manager is teribble, it doesnt show what percentage or of file has been downloaded or remains? It only shows when file has comlpletely downloaded. It would be way better if it show details and give control during download.

Using Firevox 142.0.1 on a MacBook Air. I always have "Always ask you where to save files" checked in Preferences, but lately it sometimes fails to ask me. For example, if I try to download a file from Google Drive. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there something I can do about it?

The downloaded file name is: part_000000(5),csv The small window that appears asks: "What should Firefox do with this file?" I clicked on "Open with Firefox", then clicked "OK", but the window just vibrates and doesn't open the file. The file contains the URL's of all the pocket saves that will be lost after October 8th.

Hi,

We use the firefox for ios browser accross our organisation to access a web app. i have notived from the latest version that the downloads process appears to have changed, previously the download would trigger to a new tab whereas now it triggers a download button and then a downloads window where you need to press on the download to open, i can understand the change but it would be good to have the ability to switch it so that downloads can either follow this new process or open in a new tab depending on the users requirements.
