Why would the developers of Firefox remove the ability to select where an attachment can be saved?

This is like going back to the dark ages of web browsing.

I receive many attachments for my job, I don't want them all to save in the same location. It's a pain to have to retrieve them from my "Downloads" (or whatever) folder, to put them where they belong. This is not a small thing. It's a real pain to have everything go to the same location.

Other browsers allow you to choose where to save a particular file. I think Firefox used to allow that, too. Why would you change this?

I use Firefox for my work emails, but I think I will need to switch to another browser. 

I support a number of people in my job. I have been recommending Firefox to use. That will stop now.

Hi,

I recently migrated from Chrome to Firefox. As you can see on the screenshots, I have on Chrome the possibility to download the video I am playing by clicking the three dots. This button is not displayed on Firefox. How can I solve this issue. Deactivating Ublock doesn't change anything.

Thank you for you answers.

Why does Firefox take wild guesses at what folder I want something save to. I just downloaded 108 files to the same folder and Firefox never caught onto where I wanted to save these files. It just kept pitching randome "default" folders all over my computer. How can this possibly be a desirable behavior?

Hi everyone,

I am currently using Firefox on Fedora (KDE Plasma) and looking for a way to automatically route downloaded files into specific folders based on their file extensions.

For example, if I download a '.stl' or '.blend' file, I want it to automatically go to '~/3d/downloaded', and if it is a '.gguf' file, it should go to '/models'.

Since native application settings only allow choosing one global download folder, using third-party browser extensions feels like a security risk as they require broad file system access(This concern might be unnecessary since I don't know how to decide an extension is safe or not.). On the other hand, running a background automation script (like inotify-tools) feels like an unnecessary workaround for a feature that could be native(I solved it via this method for now).

Is there a built-in way or a hidden config in about:config to achieve this by file type? If not, do you think it is worth opening a feature request on Mozilla Bugzilla for native file-extension-based download routing?

Dear Developer,

Please add an option in Settings to select a default external download manager (e.g. 1DM+, ADM, etc.) for all downloads. Currently, Firefox shows the "Download file with" chooser every time. It would be much more convenient if users could enable an "Always use selected external downloader" option, so downloads are sent directly to the chosen app without displaying the chooser each time. This would make downloading faster and provide a smoother user experience. Thank you for considering this feature.❤

Hello,

As you can see always ask where to save is selected but whenever I download a PDF file it doesn't ask me and it just saves to downloads. How can I fix that?

As the title says, today I started getting the windows popup about selecting an app to open that file type, every time I download one.

Edit: I figured it out

I have a new MacBook Pro M5, with MacOS Tahoe Version 26.5.2, and currently running Firefox 153.0. Over the past few days, I've noticed that the Fn-Delete (forward delete) is not working in the file name field when downloading a file from the internet. Fn-Delete is working everywhere else.

I'm not certain if this started when I set up the new computer, updated the MacOS or updated Firefox. I'm pretty sure all have occurred within the past couple weeks.

Thanks.

I have "Always ask you where to save files" checked but when I save a file I don't get asked where to save the file and it's going into Downloads. I didn't have this issue before. Something isn't working right since the last few updates.

A couple of years ago the down-loader was not working very well until I found a Beta version and has worked well for you tube . Now a lot of videos when played back are in another language that sounds like French , not sure. my settings are on English and so are you tubes. It has been happening the most when I download Affinity designer tutorials new and old version of affinity . When I listen to the video I'm downloading on you tube it's English as soon as its done downloading its in another language.
