Promp to open/save file is missing since last update
Hey Mozilla!
I'm a big fan of your product, and I use it on my Windows 10x64 PC and my Note10+ Android 12 smartphone.
Since your last update, there is a problem (on the PC mozillla browser): when a click a link to download a file, automaticly is open a new window that OPEN the file. Before the last update, when I was click-ing the link, I remember that the browser was open a small window and promt me to OPEN or to SAVE the file. Now, that function is missing. (I have checked different web sites, including whatsapp for desktop, the problem is persisting).
I haven't changed any settings, the box is checked for "Always ask you where to save files".
Thank you!
Best regards, Bogdan

Hi Bogdan, in the next section of the page -- with the Applications heading -- there is a list box with settings for specific content types. The instructions here override the setting under Downloads. For example, if the PDF setting is "Use Acrobat" instead of "Always Ask" Firefox will send the file to Acrobat without asking where you want to save it.
The following article has more information on these settings: Manage file types and download actions in Firefox.
Can you get those working the way you prefer?

You have to specify the actions you wish because the 98.0 version removed them all. It's on the General page of Settings under Applications.
Indeed I saw the setting, and it is ok configured: I cheked the box „Always ask you where to save files”. But sometimes the browser choose to OPEN that files and not to ask me where to save them....
I think is a bug....
