We've hit 200 comments here and the vast majority of recent comments are arguing about exactly how dumb Firefox programmers like me are for not having fixed it yet, so I'm locking comments as there seems to be little point.
We are actively working on a fix, but as several comments here have already pointed out, it isn't trivial and will come with some side- effects to 20-odd year old ways that Firefox has done downloads. The root cause of this issue is outlined in comment #22: avoiding dataloss when applications don't provide the user with control over the resulting file, while the file is stored ephemerally (ie in the temp folder) and gets deleted later. We'll update this bug when we're confident about those changes making their way to release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065126 Title: "Always do this from now on" does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1065126/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
