Works with other versions of Firefox, with Chrome, etc. Recently dozens of users impacted due to Firefox change.

Comment 2

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

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.

[Tom S. (please needinfo tschuster)]

This is most likely already fixed in Firefox 103 (currently Beta).

[Peter Magyari (Desktop QA)]

Hi Rick,

Would you mind checking it on Firefox Beta? Since I don't have an account on that website I cannot check it myself.
You can download it from here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/desktop/

Firefox 103 is being released on the 26th of July, so if it works on Beta now, it should be fixed by then.

Thank you!

Confirmed - Firefox 103 corrects the issue.
Thanks, this will make a bunch of people happy. :)
