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)?

When I didn't know what I was doing, within Settings for Firefox desktop browser for Windows 10 where you can make associations for file types or applications, I began putting choices in that I felt made sense at the time. I don't think I've made the best choices and I would like to change that entire section with the heading Content Type to the defaults that would have appeared in the Action column. Is there a way I can return the defaults only for Content Type without resetting everything in the browser to the state it was first in before I began customizing some areas? Thanks.

Why does Firefox prompt me to save/open image files that are above a certain file size rather than simply display the image in its tab?

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

Image 1: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/futuremotiondev/general-storage/refs/heads/main/WallpapersTest3/aesthetic-black-wallpaper-download-full-6.jpg

Image 2: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/futuremotiondev/general-storage/refs/heads/main/WallpapersTest3/aesthetic-black-wallpaper-for-pc-4.jpg

Image 4: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/futuremotiondev/general-storage/refs/heads/main/WallpapersTest3/anders-jilden-AkUR27wtaxs-unsplash.jpg

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.

so I personally never use the Download Directory, because I anyway always select the Download location. but even though I set the location to XYZ it creates a ~/Download Directory. I Also tired to set the default download location directly to my Home directory, but it still creates the ~/Download Directory.

I am not sure if it's a bug or if I can disable it, or if Firefox need too do it. but it becomes annoying to always delete the ~/Download Directory.

maybe it is an OS septic problem? (ArchLinux btw) but I highly doubt that.

so why does it always, and I mean always create a ~/Download Directory when I download, even though I never selected it, it's Just empty e.c.t.

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

I am trying to download videos from a site that I newly subscribed to. The videos do stream perfectly. The files do not download as video files and will not open at all. When I click on the download link, there is no recognition of a download happening and when I check my files later I have an "internet" file showing with a title but without a video file extension and nothing will open. The file extension is ".html". I am following the step by step instructions from the site involved. Other sites videos are downloading as expected.

Does firefox need to be my default browser? Any suggestions how to remedy this without losing what is working? Are there plug-ins that can address this issue?

Thanks.

Hello, We use the following code (in a Dockerfile) to download the latest Firefox for testing.

curl -fsSL -o /tmp/firefox.tar.bz2 "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&os=linux64&lang=en-US" && tar -C /tmp -xjf /tmp/firefox.tar.bz2 firefox

Starting with 135.0 the tar command fails with:

bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now 

134.0.2 works: curl -fsSL -o /tmp/firefox.tar.bz2 "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-134.0.2....

A couple questions: - What has changed? Is there some other way we need to download and uncompress? - Is there any documentation of the supported query params for https://download.mozilla.org

Thanks, Paul

When I open a pdf file it is automatically saved to my desktop, which is my selected location. I have also checked the always ask where to save files. In settings I have indicated I want pdf files to be opened by Foxit Reader. Other files set to ask open or save.

I also have gone in into about:config and set browser.download.open_pdf_attachments_inline to true based on a previous reply in this forum about this issue.

What can I do to stop the PDF files from being automatically saved to my desktop?
