Certain homepages (e.g. viofo. com) cause to download and play their videos right away without asking for one's consent. I thought that was due to using the Chrome browser (tried in vain to stop this in the settings of Chrome and Android). Having changed to Firefox browser for Android has not improved this experience yet. Can one switch off the auto video download in Firefox?

Hello. I noticed that on the current version of Firefox browser on Android, there seems to be no button to download the current webpage as a HTML file? Would such a feature be considered in the future?

I'd like to share the Firefox browser issue.

When we download some video files from any URL, we can control the download progress via Notification card.

If we pause and resume the download progress even once, the video file could not be played even after downloaded completely.

You can find this problem even in the recent firefox version of 129.x

I hope this issue will be resolved in future version of Firefox.

If possible, please share us what is going to be taken about this issue.

I understand that changing the file extension of downloads to match the file contents is a protection feature but it is causing me issues on mobile.

I am trying to download .rosz files, they are essential .zip files with a custom extension. These files are generated from one web app and are going to be uploaded into another web app and the receiving app will reject files with the wrong extension. The current behavior changes the file to .zip and requires me to manually locate the downloaded file and rename it back to .rosz .

Is there a setting that I can change to prevent download file extention renaming? I understand the security issues it can present and am willing to accept the risks.

I'm on the android version of firefox.

I have already do the “restart” and Clear Cach”…and try to login and search for all the areas in “setting”…please help!

Your immediate help will be much appreciated!

Hello, quite for a long time I observe the same bug that you have in your application. The problem is with downloading a PDF from a supplier. The PDF is not recognised and it is said as an unknown file and also the file does not weigh any kilobytes or different - it’s always zero. So first issue is that the PDF is not recognised as PDF and even though when I try to save/download file to files app on iPhone and I add file extension/shortcut “.pdf”, still it weighs 0 kB.

How do I rename downloads? I've been unable to renames files, images, videos, etc. and they're named after what happens when someone rolls their face on the face keyboard.

Is there a way to do that within the Android mobile browser? Thank you.

I observed that the "TRY AGAIN button in the notification restarts the failed download in v129.0 even though it used to continue from where it stopped in previous versions. Please 🙏 look into this issue, because for someone like me who downloads many files at once, I don't like seeing duplicate files in my file manager

It usually creates files like "a.png", "a (1).png", "a (1)(1).png", and so on.

I have provided feedback multiple times that whenever a file download needs to be resumed, it fails and restarts from 0MB. I don't understand why you are not taking this issue seriously. I'm forced to use an external downloader. However, there is another problem: I have to select the downloader every time, as there is no option to permanently choose an external downloader.

The download process is invisiballs. It won't start no mattet how much I retry, will get completed exactly the nxtimes I tried after hours without my knowledge callage.

Is there a way to disable the download prompt on Firefox nightly mobile? I can't seem to find anything in the settings. It's just a minor annoyance, can't seem to find anything in my android settings either. Thank you!

Hi, recently my firefox for android has stopped downloading pdfs from my universitys webpage. It now opens the document as a link in the browser and there is no easy way to download it (or maybe I am blind and just cant find the option, not sure at this point). The links look like:

Is there some "automatically download files" option or similar? In any case, thank you in advance!

More specifically, it will download a few images by renumbering, but will then stop at (2) and save over the last downloaded image rather than continuing to number. I did not have this issue with Chrome, as it would continue to raise the number.

Example: Save Image > pop-up reads "Congrats, unknown.png saved!" > repeat, pop-up reads "unknown.png (1) saved!" > repeat for unknown.png (2) >repeat, but still get unknown.png (2), with the last image now saved over with the new image.

This is especially frustrating, as even after I move images to a new folder, rather than restarting or continuing the numbers it will continue to save over image (2). I work with a site that saves a lot of temporary images so the names are usually bland like this, I would appreciate FF continuing the numbering past (2) or allowing me to rename a file if it plans to overwrite.
