Windows 11: I have file download setting set to: "always ask where to save". I choose the location and folder when the save file box opens. The document is saved in the location I chose BUT it also saves to the desktop. How do I stop a duplicate download from saving to the desktop?

Thank you

Hi. I'd like to know that there is a way to stop download torrent files and just let my torrent client /qbittorrent/ handle it. Even after i set it to open them with qbittorrent Firefox still downloads those files. I mean can delete them manually, but it is quite annoying.

Whether the file is opened internally or directly downloaded to the desktop, the file name will be automatically changed to garbled text。This led to me manually correcting the file name to be correct every time I downloaded, and my installation of the "Download File Name Encoding" plugin was also ineffective.

By default ALL BOOKMARKS BACKUP saves on DESKTOP (Windows 11 pro). How can I change where the *.json file is stored (downloaded). I want D:\ZTEMP as the place to save all downloaded files as in settings "Files and Applications" "Downloads" "Save files to" D:\ZTEMP for me. example bookmarks-2026-01-03.json is placed on DESKTOP; I want in D:\ZTEMP. Thank you.

If I check "Always ask you where to save files" to true, the settings is reset to "false" after I restart my browser. Is this a bug? How can I make this setting persistent?

I use Firefox 146.0.1 (64-bit) for Windows 11

Hello! See the screenshot please: so, I downloaded à pay-bill, with Firefox (under ubuntu), in private navigation, and I get the file with a padlock-symbol at the end. What means that? What means that for me (on my computer), what means that for à friend, when I sent him the pdt-file (can he open it?). Nota: I understood that I can choose between "delete downloads when closing the privat window" or not. And I choosed not to delete them (but there appears this padlock-symbol). Thanks for your help!

in my opinion downloading files requires much time compared to other browses so i just wanted to request if you can help to improve the way of saving files.thanks bold text

O, woe, I feel like Jacob Marley wailing in torment, ha! My correctly-set selection of "Always ask you where to save files" still does not function in 146.0 on Windows 10 after I have gone through every permutation of settings, updates, restarts, etc., I can think of. Why does it always every time only automatically download to the download "Save files to" location (which one MUST set with no option to not set a download location). I have even selected "Ask whether to open or save files" on the "What should Firefox do with other files?" section. I want to be asked each time where to download just like Firefox used to allow and still falsely promises. Am I doing something wrong, or is it a vast Left Wing conspiracy with which Firefox is colluding to oppress people who want choice over their lives like me? :-)

Download not adding a number to like files when saving. For instance (mycardexp.doc if I download the same named file tomorrow mycardexp.doc it use to add a number like mycardexp(1).doc FF has stopped adding the number showing that multiple files by the same name exist and how many.

I designed a label in Avery, downloaded as a PDF and told my download to always open in Adobe Acrobat Reader. When I try to open the download I'm told that Reader can't pen because it is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged. How can I change the program that opens my downloads? I'm using latest Firefox on a Windows computer.

My settings: Downloads: save files to: [custom default folder, unimportant] Always ask you where to save files: ENABLED

Applications: PDFs: Open In Firefox (because when the browser has such a nice built-in pdf viewer of course I would like to use it)

Expected behavior: Browser will open the dialog box for where to save the pdf, save the pdf, then open it in the in-browser viewer from the location it just saved to. Or possibly: save the file to TEMP and then open it in browser, I can see the argument for that behavior, though it wouldn't be my first instinct.

Actual behavior: Browser blindly saves the pdf to the specified default folder, then opens it in the in-browser viewer.

What is the actual point of the ALWAYS ask checkbox here? From what I can find extant on the forums the devs somehow don't seem to consider this a bug, so does anyone know how to wrangle the config page and/or some kind of extension into producing the actual logical behavior for these settings?
