Firefox Community Forum

Hello everyone, As possible in previous Firefox releases I like that clicking on a .mdb file (msaccess) Firefox starts automatically Microsoft Access rather than asking where to save the .mdb file.

Thanks and regards Volker Zipp

Since i've switched defaults to Firefox, every time I 'Open Link' on a discord image, Firefox downloads the image immediately instead of simply opening the image in the browser.

I would like to disable the automatic downloading of the image and instead simply open the image in the browser. How do I make this happen?

Support, I'm using v115.23.1ESR & my OS is 10.14.5. When I'm logged into the Pinterest website, a page with different images is visible for viewing. When I click on an individual image on that page to view it in more detail, that page opens but there is no image visible. This problem started with v115.23.0. I was hoping that the update to v115.23.1 would eliminate this, but it is still occurring. So I'm hoping you can help. I'm also adding some images. In screen shot 1, I clicked on the Madonna & dolphin image. Screen shot 2 shows the result: no image.

I tried two other browsers and had no problems, Firefox is my default browser.

Looking forward to your advice, tbird301

Although I have checked "Always Ask" to specify my download location, duplicates are still being saved in "Downloads". I recently "upgraded" to Windows 11 but do not know if it is connected. FF version 138.0.3 (64-bit). How can I prevent this please?

I have had this issue for previous versions of FF and in Windows 10.

I have set FF to save in d:\downloads but to always ask. It does ask and I then direct it to the specific folder that I want to the save the file to be downloaded in. I change the name of the file and FF saves the file to that folder. However, FF also saves a copy of the file, with its original name, in the D:\downloads folder. Is there a way to prevent FF from saving the duplicate file? Thank you

edit. Sorry, I just found others with the same issue. As I understand it, there is no way to prevent FF from saving duplicates.

As of May 15, this change started.

Previously (May 14 and before), and downloaded file that has the same name as a previous downloaded file would be given a version name in parentheses. As of May 15th, any repeat-named download is given a hyphen instead. This is a serious problem, because I use the parenthetical version numbers for version control of many files.

How can I switch this back?
