The first is whenever download and cancel it in the middle it will just show in my task bar and wouldn't go away second when I was trying to customise my button on the lower part i can only do that with left most one (back button)i cannot customise any other

My earlier version of Firefox allowed me to place my downloads as I felt, rather than making me transfer them from downloads to their file. Now with my new version installed in my new laptop, it disregards the ask where to save option selected. PLEASE FIX THIS, i don't want to have to change browsers but I will since it will be easier in the long run in comparison to regularly transferring download files.

How can I change the settings so downloads default to the last folder used. This is especially useful when you download several files to the same location versus having to drill down to a specific folder every time. Thanks Peter

I wish to choose /media/myfiles/mydownloads BUT Settings does not allow entering any change and insists on using /run/user/1000/doc/878d00043/mydownloads. "Browse" is of no avail and returns same prefix.

How can i configure the download settings so that it shows me tha same folder for saving files as the one i last used? Recently, i´ve had to select a specific folder, which now always appears when i want to save a file. Before, it was always the one i´d last used, which is much more practical for my work

Firefox 157.0.1, stopped remembering last saved folder used by the inline pdf viewer, Save As always starts in the windows Downloads folder, always, I need to Firefox remember last used folder, because once a month I need to pay a lot of invoices, and always navigate from downloads to the folder where I store receipts, is becoming painful.

I started automating the organization of my Downloads folder and after moving to Firefox full time found out that every download creates two files. This is related to the Firefox creating an empty placeholder with the original file name and a .part temporary file.

What happens is that my folder automation moved the empty file to the final resting place while the download is being streamed into the .part temporary file. In the end I end up with two files: one with zero bytes and a secondary one original-filename-1.

I tried to fix this issue enabling the browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir setting, but it seems the flag is ignored in macOS 27 and Firefox 158. It still creates the two files in my Downloads folder and the behavior I described above keeps happening.

Is there a way to use a temporary directory or forcing Firefox to use one file only?

I am currently disturbed by the lack of a download feature. For example I have a PDF (https://econ.fudan.edu.cn/__local/9/E1/47/52D80A1D70B1C5EDD15CC5FDA3E_4929A117_AA9BD.pdf?e=.pdf) open, then how do I download that pdf (I know there is a save as PDF option but I want a eleganter way)? Also how do I download the audio when it is presented a dark screen with a player? Simply put, Is it possible to download something by a detector or selector or somewhat?

My PC is a desktop.

If I am using Firefox Private Browsing and download (and save) a jpg, it gets deleted when I close the Firefox private window. I save the file as 'image001.jpg' or whatever...

I can copy the saved jpg to a different directory (prior to closing Firefox) and that file does not get deleted, however the original saved jpg get deleted the moment I close Firefox.

I'm just surprised, as it seems to me that this shouldn't happen even if private viewing...

I should have the right to choose the downloads I want to keep, Instead, I get no choice! Look, I appreciate the safety and protection You give me, but I just get used to the system, and, a new download has arrived, and I'm not sure I want, or need it! I want that option, Please! I had SecureIE for many years, and I found it to be the best Browser available. If I could get it for w-10, I would! I'm not angry, just dissapointed!

    I hope we can reach an agreement on this!  Thank You for accepting this!

hi team

How can I stop firefox automatically saving .pdf documents into my downloads folder.

I open and use hundreds of .pdf documents everyday, and my downloads folder is at capacity with my viewed pdf's.

please help.

When I click on pictures from Onedrive, Nightly shows the pictures as a film negative. I would like to change what file type is handled by Nightly, but don't see the option to change this. Where do I select file types in settings?

the download manager is not working as it used to. Firefox used to remember the last downloaded item (pdf, word docx, etc, and bring me to the last folder again. it no longer does that. It's very inconvenient and I hope you fix it soon.

When uploading photos, Firefox is not Showing the last folder used. Normally, when uploading a photo from a certain folder, the next time you do that, the same folder shows up unless you choose a different one. Now, it keeps going to one specific folder even though I uploaded from a different folder previously.

Example: say I uploaded a photo from my folder "sympathy pics". Then I upload a photo from "my documents". The next upload pop-up box still pops up the "sympathy pics" folder when it should bring up "my documents".

Can someone please help me?

On all my PC's, (Win 10 & 11) downloads go to the folder I specified even though "Always Ask" is checked. This results in hundreds of files (statements, receipts, documents of interest) that I have to then move to the correct folders and unimaginable congestion and chaos in the directory.

I (and many others) would really appreciate it if FF would give priority to fixing some of these longstanding glitches, rather than pushing unneccessary and unneeded glitz on us.

Sorry if this is addressed elsewhere but I could not find it. After a recent update Firefox (Windows 11) started each website file download (mostly pdfs) at the Downloads folder. Previously, it would start at the most recent folder to which I downloaded a file. Since nearly all of my downloads are in a few neighboring folders way down the folder tree, I now have a ton of navigating to do for every single download. This is not sustainable. I have done a lot of Googling and investigated several suggested changes to about:config. I changed browser.download.folderList from 1 to 2. I made sure that browser.download.useDownloadDir is false. No effect. Any other suggestions? I am considering abandoning Firefox altogether. It has issues with some parts of the Medicare website. And an earlier update seemingly eliminated my ability to set a particular web page (Google) for new tabs, due to which I often wait a while for the page to appear, then realize I must click on Home. I like Firefox , but too many issues are accumulating and I can't seem to find solutions. Thanks for any help.

After close and reopen Firefox on Win 11, Dowload Folder displayed on file Save As changes to a different folder, not the one in settings. Repeatedly changed setting back and forth with the same resultl

In my case, the file being downloaded was named `涩图-20261007T180450Z-1-001.zip`. The network connection was interrupted during the download but re-established, causing the download to resume; however, this actually resulted in the two files shown in the image.
