I can't download ANYTHING on Firefox I've been tempted to switch to Chrome again because of this like why can I not download I don't THINK I did anything wrong either and it's really becoming frustrating I'm sorry

Hello!

 Since some days I have the problem that all files I download from outlook are accompanied by a preceding UTF-8 in the file name. This is not the case for e.g. google chrome. Can I fix this problem by myself, or is it a general problem of firefox 128.9esr (64-bit)?

I use Firefox to access my Office 365 email. Suddenly all files attached to emails contain UTF8 in the beginning of the file name. But when the file is attached to the email the name does not contain those characters. It doesn't happen when using another browser. I've attached an image of two different files.

Sehr geehrtes Firefox-Support-Team,

ich habe ein Problem, das sich bei der Verwendung von Firefox auf meinem Windows-PC ergibt. Wenn ich versuche, die Installations-EXE für Norton 360 von der Website norton.com herunterzuladen, startet der Download gar nicht. Es passiert einfach nichts, wenn ich auf den Download-Link klicke.

Ich habe bereits die folgenden Schritte zur Fehlerbehebung durchgeführt, jedoch ohne Erfolg:

   Cache und Cookies gelöscht

   Add-ons und Erweiterungen deaktiviert

   Firefox auf die neueste Version aktualisiert

Leider führt keiner dieser Schritte dazu, dass der Download startet.

Könnten Sie mir bitte weiterhelfen und eine Lösung für dieses Problem anbieten? Das gleiche Problem habe ich bei Bitdefender.com auch im Kunden Konto.

Ich danke Ihnen im Voraus für Ihre Unterstützung.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

I've searched everywhere it seems to get Firefox to stop automatically opening my downloads. I'm a graphic designer that downloads a lot of things at one time, and it's really annoying that they all open up at once. How can I fix this? I've tried to play around it Firefox settings, but didn't have any luck. Thanks for any help!

Firefox is opening the file instead of letting me download when clicking "download". File type is set to download in my preferences.

Hello,

Can you please assist with the following download issue?

Firefox often, though not always, is very slow to download files, and when this occurs, I am unable to search by others tabs etc. I can download the same file using Edge on the same computer "instantaneously". Firefox returns to normal operation ~ 10 seconds after I cancel the download.

I unsuccessfully attempted to search for solutions.

Thanks and regards.

Hello, I am having trouble to have my Firefox desktop 128.8.0esr retain my choices on how to handle the various file types it downloads - save, ask or open with a corresponding MS Office application (broad sense).

No problem to reach or configure each type available, e.g. 'Microsoft Word Document >> Always Ask', my issue is that my settings DO NOT get permanently stored, so if I restart Firefox, everything defaults back to standard choices. This is affecting exclusively all choices from 'Applications' list; the radio button option right below on 'what to do with other files' is being respected [surviving Firefox restart] accordingly.

This issue has been around on previous versions as well, I was hoping that next revisions might solve the problem however still frustrated on this particular matter. Have also seen the article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file and specifically at 'Changing Download Actions' my issue can be described as its item [5. Close Settings page. Changes will automatically be saved] is not working at all.

My 'prefs.js' file is not read-only, I have just K-Now extension installed and I already tried to issue an installation refresh, however problem persists. Thanks to advise on what to do.
