Attempts to Download document files from facebook group fails

I joined a couple facebook groups. Each offered a file tab with documents available for download.

I tried numerous times with firefox and it failed. Clicking the "Download" item on the ... menu caused the same files tab view and list to open in a new tab.

I hated to do it, but I dusted off M$ Internet Explorer, logged into FB and joined a group, clicked the Files tab, selected a file, clicked the 3 dots, menu popped up and I clicked "Download". Poof. The Save As popup appeared, the file was downloaded. Works as expected with IE.

Might there be a setting in FF that is blocking such downloads of PDF and .doc document files?

In another thread, a user reported that DOC and DOCX files were downloading from Facebook and/or Messenger with a .pdf extension. But it sounds like you have a different issue.

When I go to download a file, the address is redirected:

If you are getting redirected to the post or files tab instead of the file, hmm, I'm not sure what is going wrong there. Maybe a cookie or other parameters is missing. ??

I cleared all facebook, meta, fb cookies and more. I turned off virtually all my normal noscript and tracking filters.

this is as far as I get:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/theorderofpen/files/files

The files list includes only 1 file, rewire anger.png

hover and copy link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theorderofpen/permalink/293876105822063/

At far right of the file line is "...", clicking on which opens a menu with 2 options: "Download" and "See original post"

The link for Download is: https://www.facebook.com/download/247165527232339/rewire%20anger.png?av=100011343550608&eav=AfbsPdUrpYZtVdcpiitSvN_ldTsjR4xgvGwLREVK1gH_k0C4mzHHxlQNiHV8MB-Dt-g&paipv=0&hash=Aco1XLqqoh0dDtvEhcY

Clicking "Download" goes to the original post: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theorderofpen/permalink/293876105822063/

Clicking results to: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theorderofpen/permalink/293876105822063/

So loops back to itself
