If Firefox 102b2 is not downloading .apk files for Android and recognizes them as m-dos files, try these steps:

Clear browser cache.
Disable extensions.
Download in Safe Mode.
Check download settings.
Update Firefox.
Try a different user profile.
Check security software.
Download from a different source like madfut.

If the issue persists, consider reporting it to Mozilla for further assistance.

Hi! It seems like Firefox 102b2 might be treating .apk files as MS-DOS files, which is unusual. I recommend trying the FireKirinapps instead for a better experience. Let me know if you need further assistance!

Firefox 102b2 non scarica correttamente i file APK per Android, trattandoli come file M-DOS. Gli altri browser, invece, li scaricano normalmente senza problemi.

Firefox on Android sometimes has issues properly triggering the package installer or identifying MIME types when downloading raw .apk files directly through the browser.

I ran into a similar issue recently while trying to direct-download large gaming installation files, specifically when attempting to download Geometry Dash APK via Firefox. The download would complete, but clicking the notification wouldn't initiate the package installer. Granting Firefox the "Install Unknown Apps" permission under system settings fixed the issue immediately.

If you frequently download and manage APK files, browser cache and leftover installer packages can quickly clog up your local storage.

Moving downloaded setup packages and heavy files to a reliable cloud storage app after installation keeps your storage clean. This prevents browser download timeouts and ensures system installers have enough temp space to execute properly.

Many Android users prefer downloading apps directly through APK files when official stores are unavailable. Before installing any application, it's always wise to verify the source and compatibility.

It sounds like Firefox is detecting the APK with the wrong MIME type instead of treating it as an Android package. Since the same file downloads correctly in other browsers, I'd first check whether the issue is specific to Firefox Beta or related to the server's content-type headers. Testing with the latest stable Firefox version could also help narrow it down. I've seen similar behavior when downloading apps like CapCut Pro, where one browser handles the APK normally while another misidentifies the file type.
