1850986 - [Nightly and Beta] File download causes activation of multiple Google applications

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1847141

(Fenix :: Downloads, defect, P3)

Description

[theineff]

Steps to reproduce:

Downloading a file from a website, either a pdf or an image, but only of Firefox Nightly (version 119.0a1, build #2015971363) and Beta (version 117.0b9, build #2015968867), the current stable release on the GooglePlay store seems to be unaffected.

Actual results:

After the download, the system automatically starts multiple applications, among which Google Drive, Docs, Sheet, and Slides. These applications end up crashing.

Expected results:

None of the above mentioned applications should be executed.

Based on the phenomenon and fenix channel/version , i guess it may related to bug 1847141.

The device I am using is a Samsung Galaxy Tab s2 with Android 7 with Kernel 3.10.84. I have tried to test the same steps on a Samsung Galaxy A12 phone with Android 12, but it doesn't seem to be affected by the problem.

Can you confirm that things are working better for you on Nightly now?

The issue no longer happens for me on the current Nightly.

After last update I am not having any issues with the Nightly version. The problem still affects the beta version and it also started affecting the stable release on the Google Playstore, also after the last update.
