When accessing Outlook (https://outlook.office.com) using Firefox ESR version 128.9.0 and attempting to download a file attached to an email, the string 'UTF-8' is automatically inserted at the beginning of the file name, which is causing issues. This phenomenon does not occur with other browsers such as Edge or Chrome.

Is there a way to solve this problem?

Hello!

 Since some days I have the problem that all files I download from outlook are accompanied by a preceding UTF-8 in the file name. This is not the case for e.g. google chrome. Can I fix this problem by myself, or is it a general problem of firefox 128.9esr (64-bit)?

Hello,

Can you please assist with the following download issue?

Firefox often, though not always, is very slow to download files, and when this occurs, I am unable to search by others tabs etc. I can download the same file using Edge on the same computer "instantaneously". Firefox returns to normal operation ~ 10 seconds after I cancel the download.

I unsuccessfully attempted to search for solutions.

Thanks and regards.

When I was previously using Firefox in Kubuntu 22.04, if I downloaded something I could go to the Downloads icon and click on the download and it would open in the desired application. After a failed upgrade to 24.04 I had to do a reinstall and now in Kubuntu 24.04, if I click on a downloaded file it will always bring up a window with "Open the file link with okular?" and the buttons Cancel and Open Link below. How do I go back to the previous way of it working?

Hello, We use the following code (in a Dockerfile) to download the latest Firefox for testing.

curl -fsSL -o /tmp/firefox.tar.bz2 "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&os=linux64&lang=en-US" && tar -C /tmp -xjf /tmp/firefox.tar.bz2 firefox

Starting with 135.0 the tar command fails with:

bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now 

134.0.2 works: curl -fsSL -o /tmp/firefox.tar.bz2 "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-134.0.2....

A couple questions: - What has changed? Is there some other way we need to download and uncompress? - Is there any documentation of the supported query params for https://download.mozilla.org

Thanks, Paul

I am trying to download videos from a site that I newly subscribed to. The videos do stream perfectly. The files do not download as video files and will not open at all. When I click on the download link, there is no recognition of a download happening and when I check my files later I have an "internet" file showing with a title but without a video file extension and nothing will open. The file extension is ".html". I am following the step by step instructions from the site involved. Other sites videos are downloading as expected.

Does firefox need to be my default browser? Any suggestions how to remedy this without losing what is working? Are there plug-ins that can address this issue?

Thanks.

I have set up a preferred download location in Settings and also ticked the "Always ask you where to save files" box, so for every download, the default location comes up in the download screen.

However, I regularly want to download a number of files in succession to the same non-default location and it is a pain to set it up each time. Is there any way to get Firefox to remember the last location used to save a file and offer it each time (at least in each session) for downloads?

I'm running Firefox 135.01 (64-bit) on Windows 11.

Many thanks.

Mike

But after installing nemo the file management software when opening the folder where the file downloaded switched to dolphin. Where can I change it back to dolphin?
