Firefox for Android Support Forum

In the recent update, there is a new feature which allowed people to view pdf directly in the browser rather than downloading it. Ever since this was implemented, I am not able to download any pdf, instead it keeps opening up the pdf in another tab which is not what I'm trying to do. Is there a way to fix this?

With the new viewing pdf files in Firefox 111 I cannot download the file to downloads to save it. Can Firefox be modified to allow the option to either view the pdf file or download the file to downloads?

Hi, recently my firefox for android has stopped downloading pdfs from my universitys webpage. It now opens the document as a link in the browser and there is no easy way to download it (or maybe I am blind and just cant find the option, not sure at this point). The links look like:

Is there some "automatically download files" option or similar? In any case, thank you in advance!

In older version I could download any document and save it to pdf,but this version you can not do it,and it disturbs a lot,so please fix it,and another problem this version is too slow to open it lurgs a lot. Thanx.

1. 1- last week Firefox was blocking me from accessing certain sites that I always go to.

1. 2- I cannot access about:config. I've tried signed in and out as well as with different search engines and I just get a blank screen. Help?

1. 3- is it normal for FF to have permission to download files without notifying? I checked the permission list and seemed like there is alot of dangerous and malicious permission allowed as system permissions. Please help?

1. 4- when I log in and check devices, 2 new logins show up. One says my phone's model # and the second one says logged into Firefox browser or something like that. Is it normal to have duplicates like that when I only use my Android phone?

1. 5- I've tried and cannot find any way to login to my network or make any network changes? Please help?

I commented on play store and was told to send my question on here so they could be investigated more. Thank you for your help.

I downloaded a video and don't know where it went it gave me the option of gallery and Firefox so I hit gallery but it said gallery didn't supported it or something like that and I don't know where it went or how to find it

I'm trying to view a site's local storage on Firefox for Android (109.2.0) from a PC (109.0.1). I've used two different Android devices (Pixel 2 running Android 11 and Acer B1-7A0 running Android 7) on two different PCs (Windows 10 and Ubuntu 22.04). In all cases, when viewing storage I see "No data present for selected host". I am able to view storage for "This Firefox" and viewing other parts (Inspector, Debugger, Network, etc.) appear to work.

If the file being downloaded has a really long filename, Firefox doesn't allow scrolling to the download button, that is now below the screen space. A solution could be allowing to scroll or trimming it.

The Firefox support site says that downloaded files can be deleted through the downloads menu in Firefox: https://mzl.la/3P8HXEs

The steps say that there should be a three-dot button but mine only shows a "trash" icon that removes the file from Firefox without actually deleting the file. Is this a Firefox big that needs to be reported, or something wrong with my install, or outdated support information?

On this link if the options are selected, there are two embedded PDFs in two tabs on same page. The firefox Android app downloader randomly gives the option to download only one of the two. I wish to download both the PDFs. Is there a way to stop the firefox from giving download option, but see the embedded PDFs on the page itself. So that we can download it by clicking on the embedded PDFs.

Below are images on expected behaviour of chrome browser, but errorneous behaviour of firefox. Firefox shows option to download the file from first tab that is E-text. But when clicked to download ends up downloading file on the second tab Learn More.

Why i can't resume downloading when I close Firefox browser for Android The download bar disappears from the notification panel ? It's better if active downloads appear on the downloads page so that we can manage them
