I used to be able to download a file and continue browsing. Now, the list of downloaded files pops up from the menu bar and I have to close it every time. This is a real pain in the butt when I'm downloading dozens of files.

Does anyone know how I can turn this off?

Hello Mozilla Support!

I just installed Firefox 98.0 this morning. I was very surprised to discover that I can no longer view an attachment in Firefox or open an attachment without also downloading it.

If you can, please ask the developers to reinstate the Download Attachment options to "Open with Firefox" and "Open with [select the program]" without automatically downloading every attachment.

Thank you!

The latest version is displaying a download dropdown after a download, and I can't figure out how to stop it. In previous versions the answer was to go to Tools Menu > Options > General Tab > Download Section, but that doesn't seem to exist any more.

How do I stop that annoying dropdown from appearing?

I just switched to Windows 11 and Firefox have a strange behaviour. Maybe also just firefox updates the behaviour like removing back action when clicking backspace some time ago. When a download of a PDF starts it is configured that it will ask me what to do. So in general I use open with Adobe PDF Viewer. This also works. But the file is anyway in my Download-Folder. I was used that it will be saved in the temp folder %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp and then also deleted after a while. If I want a file saved for a longer time I save it explicitly to a location I want to have it.

Any idea what is wrong in the Windows 11 or Firefox (currently 98.0.1)

Thanks a lot!

It used to be that when I downloaded something, the icon would light up and I could click it to open if I wanted to, but now it pops open whenever I download something. This is very annoying as I often don't want to immediately open the folder that I downloaded to. How do I change this back to not opening automatically?

After the latest update, I can't open Microsoft applications. I have to save them to a file. When I get an email with a Word or Excel file attached, I HAVE to save it. Before the update, the system always opened it so I could look at it first.

I went to settings and Applications, but in the window where it says, "Choose how Firefox handles the files you download from the web or the applications you use while browsing." There are no Microsoft options.

I was able to change the PDF docs to open rather than save, but I need to do the same thing with Word, Excel, PPT, etc.

Please help

Since the last update .tif files won't open in default application on download anymore, I can only save them. Jpg and pdf files I can set a preference in settings to open or save, but there is no option to set a preference for tif files.

For my work I use databases with many tif files I need to open to review, and I really don't want to waste time saving every single file, then open them for review before going and deleting the unwanted ones.

Until the most recent update any image files just opened in my default application and I could save from there if I wanted.

This seems like a pointless change with no benefits and only disadvantages, can it be fixed?

Is there something else that I need to do? Thank you!

I have three Firefox profiles: A, B, and C. I tried to give them all different themes. A has a red theme and keeps it consistently. B, my default profile, should have a green theme, and C should have a black theme. However, when I change B's theme to green, the theme on C also changes to green, and when I change the theme on C to black, the theme for B also changes to black. I don't know what I did differently for A! How can I make my profile themes stick for B and C?

Recently before the new update I think, when I download something the download icon just turns blue which tells me that the download has finished.

But for some time now, when I download anything the download notification pops up like a window which I have to click something to make it disappear. I don't know why this is happening because I did not install any new add ons from before and after the thing happened. Is there a way to disable it? I don't know why it happened so suddenly but its so annoying because you have to close that notification before you can resume anything else.

Note: The pictures are what I see immediately after the download finished, I did not click anything for it to pop up.

FF 98.0.2 - just updated. Top five lines of FF are TINY - using the ZOOM function only enlarges the body of the webpage, not the top five lines, FF logo, menu bar,’ Bookmarks Toolbar, etc. All previous suggestions have been to use Zoom control or to adjust size in about:config. That is ignoring the problem. Some answers claim the problem is in system settings. However, this is a brand new out of the box computer, when I use the Microsoft Edge installed on it, the corresponding lines of that browser are functional, not microscopic, so I KNOW MOZILLA CAN DO BETTER. PLEASE DO!!! I'm not the only person going blind and crazy trying to read the top five lines and getting bad suggestions (though thank you all for trying.) I have another computer running FF 93.0 and I'm not updating that one until the latest version is fixed. Please see two pix taken at 240% zoom, both screen resolutions the same, 1366x768. It is clearly seen that the test on ver 93.0 is larger than on 98.0.2. And just for giggles, a shot of MS Edge...look at the size of the top lines. (I've done a ton of troubleshooting in my career. Something's not right.)
