Firefox for Android Community Forum

i'm running firefox 152.0.1 on android 15 running on a samsung s23.

for some reason, firefox insists on downloading text files, instead of displaying them directly. in my experience, firefox used to display text files directly by default.

i checked this on a pc running firefox 115.26.0.esr and was surprised to see the same behaviour. in addition, although i'm able to specify display/download preferences in settings as usual, the option 'open in firefox' doesn't exist for text files...

can anyone tell me why??

Why are Firefox's downloaded images so hard to find later after downloading? I prefer Android's Galaxy app where I name my folders that are useful for me. And why aren't they .jpg or .gif or something? It says. webp. (webpage) The pics are just simple things like a picture of a casserole or a cat. Nothing proprietary. I see no setting asking "save to... whatever...folder" And say whatever folder you choose is.

Is anybody could tell me how to switch off or block FireFox download manager on android? I try to understand what is the reason to introduce this solution, but I can't. Android has download manager which sending notifications after every download, so why I am forced to clear that notifications twice - once in android and second time in FireFox? Is anybody could explain me that? Because I'm so stupid to understand this. I don't want to manage my downloads from FireFox and I want to remove it or switch-off. So please somebody help me

Hey, I got an SD card for my phone recently and I've been trying to tell all apps to just go there, but I can't seem to find a way to make firefox download things to the SD card.. Am I missing some hidden setting?

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.

When I download files from websites, the download list will never display what is going on, although the status bar will display. If I want to stop downloading, I have to turn off the wifi or kill the program process. When tabs appear at the bottom, they block web content. I know it hides when I swipe down, but the web page prohibits content for me to scroll down and I'm going to be bothered.

Hello,

When I download images or videos using Firefox on my Android phone, the files disappear after some time. They are also removed from my Downloads history in Firefox.

Files downloaded from other apps (such as Discord,chrome) remain, so this issue seems to occur only with Firefox. Could you please help me understand why this is happening and how to prevent it?

Thank you.

When downloading, the popup that tells you that the download is complete no longer has a little X you can push to get rid of it, you have to swipe. What is worse is tagtbit STAYS up until you do! Who thought this up some kind of sadist?!

Why Mozilla don't have download manager like mozilla PC We need it cuz the application use the phone download manager and it's trash if click in download its stop Exit from it stop and its very slow really snail We need it application is perfect why don't have this future

Pls do it 🙏🥺

I don't know if there's anywhere else that allows you to report bugs, so I'll do it here. Currently, you cannot swipe away download pop-ups on the mobile version of firefox beta and it covers screen elements for as long as it persists. It's a minor bug that removes your ability to tap anything on the bottom of the screen for 20 seconds or so when it timesout. An example is in the image I gave. The screen pop-up continues to block any interactions behind it.
