Why disfunction "Always ask you where to save files"?
O, woe, I feel like Jacob Marley wailing in torment, ha! My correctly-set selection of "Always ask you where to save files" still does not function in 146.0 on Windows 10 after I have gone through every permutation of settings, updates, restarts, etc., I can think of. Why does it always every time only automatically download to the download "Save files to" location (which one MUST set with no option to not set a download location). I have even selected "Ask whether to open or save files" on the "What should Firefox do with other files?" section. I want to be asked each time where to download just like Firefox used to allow and still falsely promises. Am I doing something wrong, or is it a vast Left Wing conspiracy with which Firefox is colluding to oppress people who want choice over their lives like me? :-)

Hi Olorin, I feel your pain this change has tripped up a lot of people. In Firefox 146, the “Always ask where to save files” option can behave inconsistently if there’s a default download folder set in combination with “Ask whether to open or save files.” One workaround is to temporarily clear the default download location and make sure only the “Always ask” option is checked. Otherwise, submitting feedback via Help → Submit Feedback is the best way to flag this behavior to the developers hopefully they make it more consistent again soon!
