Downloading PDF files.
Recent update causes all pdf links to be opened in Firefox on Android with no option to download, and no setting to choose a default behavior. They're was another person who asked a similar question and was told to use the "Share" option and then "Save as PDF" - this doesn't work. Another advise given was long-pressing on the PDF link and choosing to save target - it won't work when I am pasting the pdf link into the address bar, which is how I do it primarily. I'm stuck using the Open in External App, which opens the pdf in Google drive, then having the option of saving the file. So many unnecessary steps. Please fix.

Hi
With the .pdf file open in Firefox for Android, using the option to save the page from the Share option in the Firefox for Android menu should work.
If not, do you have a link to the .pdf file that is not working for you?

Hello Paul, Thank you for taking the time to answer. I went back to the pdf file address I was trying to save yesterday and was able to successfully use the "Share>save as PDF" option in Firefox on Android. I am not able to replicate the error I experienced the day before, and I'm happy your solution works!
Thank you again.
Still files embeded in webpages aren't downloadable. Sample link
Select any Paper and Module from dropdowns. Embedded Pdf will be visible. These pdfs cannot be doionloaded.
Same here, doesn't matter the page, all PDF files are opening directly on Firefox instead ask for download or open. How to get it back?
How can we open in Adobe reader to solve all this sh.. ?! I don't understand why Mozilla is doing so badly an update. I think I'll soon switch to brave !
