Downloaded CSV file gets saved in XML format
I use a web application that lists items in a table, which provides a link to download the table as a CSV file. It used to work fine in previous versions of Firefox. However, in the current version, while the file save dialog defaults to a filename that ends in .csv and CSV is selected in the "Save as type:" drop-down, the data in the file that Firefox actually saves is in XML rather than CSV format. I don't know in which version of Firefox this behavior changed, as it's been a couple years since I tried to use this feature. Or I suppose it actually could be a new bug. I do know that when I use the same feature in Microsoft Edge, it saves the CSV file in the correct format, so this behavior seems to be peculiar to Firefox, rather than anything wrong with the web application.

There is a recent bug in version 125 that may cause the wrong file to be downloaded (Bug 1892069). Try changing dom.block_download_insecure to false in about:config then restart the browser.

That solved the problem. Odd coincidence that I happened try something I almost never do that hit a new bug.
