Mozilla firefox 49 and below download#
I have turned it off and I always get a nice prompt asking me if I want to download the file because it is so unsafe since it wasn’t checked against a server, but I don’t have to choose a folder, I still get prompted, I only don’t need to see some stupid file browser window. The problem also is how the article talks about some dumb vulnerability like 5 years ago, and it was Window’s fault, not Chrome, if a file is processed as soon as you enter the folder where it was opened, then downloading it with or without prompt would do the same.Īnd I mean, people complaining about how insecure downloading automatically is, well, you have Safe Browsing on, and you are giving your data to Google. But if you don’t like it, you can always keep using the prompt like some people use their Chromium browsers. This change is just Firefox fantasizing about people switching from Chromium to Firefox and not just be Firefox the dying browser so they want to give one little option that Chromium browsers have. The funny thing is a button that says “open with” was always worst than a setting to automatically download a files to a folder, I mean, if we count that you could Open With and then check a box that says “do this automatically from now” it was always worst and not much happened from it. I mean, If you don’t want to use it then don’t use it. 152.I don’t even like Mozilla or Firefox but people sound dumb complaining about this.Gig Extra Consistent 350-400 download by DCELL Does this really work?
