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)?

Good morning. Please I would like your help regarding the following problem that I have been facing suddenly for a few days. Any file I download via email or anything else has UTF-8 stuck in front of its name. Why is this happening all of a sudden? Thank you in advance..

I have my Firefox browser set to ask me where I would like to save my downloads. However, it never asks me. It just automatically sends everything to my downloads folder then opens the file in a new window. I then have to go into my downloads folder and save it where I want to save it. So I must go through the saving process twice. Given that I download a lot of files for my business, this gets real old real quick. I don't have this problem with Chrome. I would like to stick with Firefox, but I'm going to have to make a change if I can't get this issue fixes.

Hello When i download files it has started to put UTF-8 before the name of the file ? Why is that ? Because it doesn't do it if i try it in another browser.

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

Greetings Team,

I just wanted to highlight a thing constantly bothering me while saving file through the browser.

Whenever I try to save file by default "UTF-8" is adding at the start of the file name I wanted to save.

Kindly look into this.

in the last couple of days every time i download the file it adds the above characters to the name. very annoying - i need then to rename every file. any suggestions?

As I was downloading a video from Google Photos, it showed the yellow by the download arrow and said it failed. I tried multiple file types: mpeg, jpeg, mp4, exe. I googled what to do and my answer was: Disable extensions, start in safe mode, clear cookies, clear history, clear download history. I did all that and I can still not download. I restarted my computer and nothing changed. on FF version 136.0.2

Recently I have been getting strange automatic downloads which I have seen before. They look like this: Dh3qd41m.htm, iTOaBR9n.htm There is 14 of them. What is causing them

I Uploaded several jpg images to GitHub of various file-sizes using a command line tool called Upgit:

Image 5: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/futuremotiondev/general-storage/refs/heads/main/WallpapersTest3/andre-benz-cXU6tNxhub0-unsplash.jpg

Notice that if you open image 5, it prompts to save it or open it in an external application (or just downloads it, depending on your download settings). All the other images just simply load and appear in their tabs.

Is there a configuration setting in about:config that determines the file size threshold for this behavior?

Try it yourself: Open image 5. It will prompt you or download the image automatically whereas the other images just display in tabs.

How can I disable this behavior?

Any help greatly appreciated.
