Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:98.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/98.0

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox 98 changed the default download action to download without asking. In my opinion, this is a dumb default, but that's up to you. The problem is that there seems to be no reasonable way to get back to the previous, reasonable settings. As far as I can tell, the only way is to manually change every affected download handler, which is pretty close to 100. That is not reasonable.

Changing defaults for no apparent reason and making users jump through lots of hoops to get back to the old, supported default is very unreasonable.

Expected results:

Don't change defaults without giving a way to go back, especially when those changes serve no good purpose.
