The latest update 141.0 (64-bit) has changed my default save location from g.drive to users//downloads. How do I change it back to g.drive? I use Firefox synced between 2 computers (1 desktop and 1 laptop). I use google drive so that I can access the same information on both devices. I NEED screenshots to be saved in a specific folder in g.drive. How do I do this. Before this update, there was not this issue. Thanks in advance.

i switched the download folder to the "desktop",but still it saves whatever i download in the "default" folder of downloads....even when i checked that it actually in the settings says it was changed....im using Firefox142.0.1 (64-bit)

Long time ago it was the only thing we had: if you saved a file, you selected the folder. If you saved the next file, you selceted the folder, but the LRU (last recently used) was the default.

Now download folders depend on the domain, the filetype, the age of the user and the color of the T-shirt he wears. At least that's what I guess. Its so complicated, my IQ is not sufficient to understand it. And if you refuse to have it this way, its always stored to the Download folder.

After long research, opening the low level config page, identifying cryptic names of configuration properties and clicking away warnings I was able to deactivate domain specific download folders. It was so annoying, I immediately forgot how I did it.

Still I have to select the same path again and again and again for each filetype I want to store.

And the FileSelector has its own history, but the last folder I selected does not show. Why? Obviously its a fake history.

when i download a pdf file, it auto opens on a new tab. i dont want it to auto open. for it to not auto open i have to explictly click on the downloading file, i couldn't find a settings in the settings menu to stop auto opening.

Hello,

Since a recent update, I can no longer drag and drop files from the Firefox downloads panel directly into Outlook Web (webmail) as an email attachment. This used to work fine before.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Download a file (e.g. a PDF) 2. Open the downloads panel (the arrow icon in the toolbar) 3. Try to drag the file from the panel into the attachment area of a new email in Outlook Web 4. The file does not get attached — nothing happens

Expected behavior: the file should be attached to the email, as it was before.

Workaround: I have to open the downloads folder via the folder icon in the panel, then drag from Windows Explorer instead.

Firefox version: 150.0.2 (64-bit) OS: Windows Webmail: Outlook Web (outlook.office.com or outlook.com)

This is a regression, it worked in previous versions. Is there a fix planned?

Thank you.

I've noticed of late that Firefox will not open .webp files in browser, instead automatically downloading without asking (I have the "Always ask you where to save files" option ticked). It then opens the photo in a new tab while leaving the now blank original image tab open with the URL from which it was downloaded. Under the applications section i have set webp images to "open in Firefox" rather than "save file" and would appreciate advice on resolving this issue.

I'm suddenly having a problem where images don't save as .jpg unless I add that myself. At first, it wanted to save images as WebP, but I was able to fix that in the about:config. Now when I go to save an image, it wants to save as Chrome HTML document and I have to click all files and then add .jpg.

O, woe, I feel like Jacob Marley wailing in torment, ha! My correctly-set selection of "Always ask you where to save files" still does not function in 146.0 on Windows 10 after I have gone through every permutation of settings, updates, restarts, etc., I can think of. Why does it always every time only automatically download to the download "Save files to" location (which one MUST set with no option to not set a download location). I have even selected "Ask whether to open or save files" on the "What should Firefox do with other files?" section. I want to be asked each time where to download just like Firefox used to allow and still falsely promises. Am I doing something wrong, or is it a vast Left Wing conspiracy with which Firefox is colluding to oppress people who want choice over their lives like me? :-)

Hi, I've recently discovered that Firefox replaces the % with underscore while downloading file.

I've read that question: https://support.mozilla.org/fr/questions/1439267 but there is no answer.

Is there a way to prevent that? I use a online tool I've made myself and the % is used as a separator.

after the latest firefox update my screenshots will no longer download to my desktop but are sent directly to my downloads folder on windows 11. It has worked for years downloading to my desktop...what did you do? All the settings are set for DESKTOP ie, my computer and firefox but it will not work. Can you please help me?

Firefox asked how i wanted to open documents and I said with Word and it is doing what I asked. I want to open it in PDF or something else because they dont open in word.

I downloaded a syllabus from my online class but I can not open the file a drop box appears and asking what should firefox do with the file. I attached a screenshot of what happened when I attempted to open file. Can you please help me with this issue?
