Hello,

I encrypted the "Downloads" folder in the folder properties (EFS) in my windows profile. Now if I download a file to this folder using Firefox, it will not be encrypted. MS Edge or Internal Explorer encrypts the downloaded file. If I copy a file into the folder with the Explorer, it will also be encrypted.


Windows 10 Pro 1809 (Build 17763,316) and Windows 7 Enterprise 6.1 (Build 7601: SP1)
