THIS BULLSHOT IS WHAT GETS PEOPLE TO DUMP FIREFOX.
seriously! it is the absolute most annoying thing in the world to have random files auto-downloaded.
I want to approve each download before it happens, is there still a way to do this? Firefox no longer shows the dialog because downloads are usually intentional. Having to click a second time for a download to start is usually unnecessary.
what kind of HUBRIS is this??!?!!
users say they WANT to approve each download.
users ASK how they can approve each download.
mozilla disables the feature.
mozilla tells users they are wrong.
does anybody else find this behaviour absolutely ridiculous?!?!?!
because downloads are usually intentional
oh, so because you think downloads are usually "intentional", then ALL downloads of ALL users should be BLINDLY saved to disc WITHOUT WARNING; and deliberately and actively remove any possibility for the users to actually review EXACTLY WHAT is being downloaded.
EXE FILES GO STRAIGHT TO DISK WITHOUT ANY WARNING. WHAT ARE YOU DOING???
"intentional" downloads??!?! yeah because when i visit a page that has an auto-download script, then i LOVE finding surprise EXEs on my disk.
click a link to see what file i would actually get? hmm no i dont want that one - click cancel. OH BUT NOW YOU CANT DO THAT ANYMORE. WHY DONT I JUST CHANGE TO USE CHROME INSTEAD, IF I WANT THIS CRAPPY ANNOYING BEHAVIOUR.
CAN YOU PLEASE STOP RUINING FIREFOX WITH THESE ASININE CHANGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
for anyone late to the game (like me), disable the downgrade here: about:config browser.download.improvements_to_download_panelFALSE
PS - this setting should also be renamed as "regression_to_download_panel"
