Hi I have a problem with Firefox (102.0) downloading / saving files to Macbook (OsMonterey). The files are saved in strange machines with the ending part. Ex: video.mp4.part The files cannot be opened. Has anyone had a similar problem and can I ask for support?

Hi diletanti, A .part file is there when the file is partially downloaded or the download has stopped, allowing you to resume the download at a future time.

If you see these files, open the download manager and check if the file is still downloading. - If it is, wait for the download to complete. - If it isn't, try the solutions in the following article and see if any of them help: What to do if you can't download or save files
