User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0

Steps to reproduce:

Updated to Firefix 67b14 today. Used download API in my webextension to save files. No private windows used.

Actual results:

The file will not be downloaded anymore. A 14KB webpage will saved to enter user & password with the file type as original downloadable file. Inspect the file with a editor and this was HTML.

browser.downloads.download({
	  url : msg.url,
	  filename : file,
	  conflictAction : 'uniquify'
})

I have console log output of the message with the download url. If i click there i can save the file without authorization without problems. Checked with Nightly - same problem.

Expected results:

Download API should work within same session for Fx 67+ without any password requirements as it is the case for Firefox 66.

thank you for digging this up, so this seems to have regressed by bug 1525245.

i'm redirecting the need-info to andrea to ask if this was an intentional by-product of the change discussed at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/mozilla.dev.platform/live$20documents%7Csort:date/mozilla.dev.platform/qO6MserGVmk/mGXCSclUBgAJ or if it's a bug that should be addressed.

Hi Micha,
Can you provide a test? A simple web-extension that does what you are describing? This would be extremely helpful, for me. Thanks.

Flags: needinfo?(amarchesini) → needinfo?(micha.postbox)

:baku, note that there's automated tests for downloads at https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/extensions/test/mochitest/test_chrome_ext_downloads_saveAs.html and its sibling test files. They use a cool test helper mechanism that makes it easy for a test to effectively define and test a pseudo-extension inline from a browser test. I wasn't aware we had such an excellent testing setup like this before, so I draw your attention to it if you also didn't know. If you already knew, even better!

I made a quick test case. Main problem was to have page with a login. Normally i have a helpdesk software running in browser, its not accessible for you. Found mozillazine forum ok, no attachments there but a button to the reply php page does it for us. Because it only correct working if you are logged in.

A download test button will be added to the forum in above area if you are in a thread. The button sends a message to the download API with the URL of the postreply button if you click.

Instructions:
install the addon
go to http://forums.mozillazine.org/
login
go to a thread
click the button and look to the download folder

Results:

Marking as New. Marco, could you as triage owner evaluate the criticality of this bug with regards to our upcoming 67 release and prioritize accordingly? Thanks

Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Flags: needinfo?(mak77)

Unassigned and no priority set, we are past the last beta and enter RC week on Monday, wontfix 67.

status-firefox67: affected → wontfix

Surely it would be nice to fix this asap, considered it's breaking add-ons, but I don't know much about the underlying change that caused this bug. It looks complex enough just skimming through bug 1525245. Baku can change/re-evaluate this priority setting.
If we could get a fix for 68 (even as an uplift) it would be nice.

Points: --- → 5
Flags: needinfo?(mak77)
Priority: -- → P2
See Also: → 1561654

Fixed this in bug 1561654.

For future reference, if you have breakage of a public extensions API, especially an identified regression from a patch which opted existing tests out of real Firefox behaviour, please make sure the Addons team is aware of the problem.

We can probably better assess the priority, and help guide you with addressing the issue if needed.

Web Extension APIs have compatibility guarantees, and we want to avoid situations where published extensions are broken in release Firefox, while the bug just sits here as P2 for 3 months.
