User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:100.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/100.0

Steps to reproduce:

Steps to Reproduce :

  1. Start a file download on any site.
  2. Go to about:profiles
  3. Click on the "Launch profile in new browser" option for another profile, other than the one currently being used.

Actual results:

A warning dialogue opens, informing that "If you exit now, 1 download in progress will be canceled. Are you sure you want to exit?" . Selecting the option "Cancel 1 Download" doesn't actually cancel the download, however.

Expected results:

No popup should have shown up, as profile switching doesn't cancel downloads.

Summary: Pop-up dialogue warning about download cancellation appears when switching profiles → Pop-up dialogue about download cancellation appears when switching profiles

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::File Handling' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → File Handling

This is a bug in about:profiles, which tells the rest of the app that the user asked to quit, which is not true.
