Since win 11 when I log into my company time system called easyflow and I try and download the time to excel it doesn't open or go to the download folder. Instead a little extra window pops up in the lower bottom left for a second and then dissappears. Nothing is ever on the downloads the file never opens anywhere. Anyone know how to fix this issue??

I use Firefox as my default browser. We I download something (a program update, an xlsx file from my back) I get a downlaod failed, so I have to use another browser to download it.

There are times that I use the screenshot tool on X.com and the filename it saves to is WAY too long. Sometimes it tries to use the entire content of the post as the filename. I see this effect in the title bar as well. Is there a way to change it so it only uses a date/timestamp and nothing else? Attached is an example of this extremely long naming. Specs: Firefox 139.0.4 (aarch64) Mozilla Firefox for Raspberry Pi OS rasberrypios-1.0 OS: Debian 12 bookworm Kernel: aarch64 Linux 6.12.25+rpt-rpi-2712

On the Save Page As dialog on Linux, how do I edit the choices of where to save?

The stock options are Home, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Videos, and + Other Locations.

I don't use most of these directories, but I do use two dozen others. Navigating to them using Other Locations is painfully slow; it would be ok if I could then save the location I've navigated to, but I haven't found a way to do that, and clicking one path element at a time for 6 element paths over and over gets old quickly.

Typing the path I want either nukes the default filename, or else it tries to match the filename string from the URL in the target directory, which doesn't show me existing directory contents.

Thanks for any clues...

When I try to save a page as a link, the space for the URL is filled with 'VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV'! How do I fix this? I can't take a screenshot because it disappears when I switch to cut & snip or 'save screen'.

Hi im using the "zen" browser i dent really understand that whole browser, search engine stuff but i think it uses some kind of fire fox. the problem is that when i am on some websites for example chess.com, or this websites the browser is just downloading random .dms files they dont have any content and the name is 100% random here are some examples: 7cPAk3s5.dms, yu5zp0Z3.dms ,gAQGSElz.dms (i hope i didnt leak some stuff) as i said i dont have enough skill to find the problem and on the internet there isnt any info. But i tried some stuff like disable some random stuff but nothing helped this only happends only on the Zen browser and on opera or safary everything is normal. (this isnt my first language, im sorry for any typing mistakes and if anything else is used im happy to provide)

Hello to everybody, I repeat my question and hope it can besolved persistantly: Opening local .mdb files (MS Access database) does no longer work in Firefox 139, but was ok in previous releases. The only choice is to save the file rather than opening it with the application MS access. Under Firefox settings/applications the file type .mdb does not appear, nor do I have a choice to decide how to open it. I expect to find an entry for .mdb files where to choose "always ask" as was the case earlier. Please help! Regards Volker Zipp

Decades ago, browsers had features to download the current web page along with linked pages and store them locally including updating the downloaded main page's links to reference the linked copies. It was even possible to specify how many link levels to copy along with the main page.

when web page sidebars became popular this became problematic for a while since sidebars often linked to ads or unrelated content (Wikipedia or GitHub for example). Then browsers started providing a means to disable webpage sidebars and display only the main page.

I can't find any of that capability in Firefox. I have searched the settings, extensions, Firefox support pages and found almost nothing related to simply saving web pages.

I fear that some day the website 'UESPWiiki' which provides support for my favorite game which is now (2025) 19 years old will some day go away. UESPWiki has side bars preventing simply downloading everything. Help.

When attempting to install AdRemover to my system, I get an error message that indicates the file is corrupt even though it comes from the provider. How can I download this app successfully.
