Browser / Version: Firefox 117.0
Operating System: Windows 10
Tested Another Browser: No

Problem type: Something else
Description: Save Page As, mostly fails with yellow icon, requiring a manual retry click.
Steps to Reproduce:
hi in firefox (current version or even several months back), when saving a web page, it fails most of the time, with a yellow warning icon in the top right downloads indicator, and i have to manually click the retry icon, and then it succeeds.

i am not sure if it is because i use u-block origin as well, but is there any way to simply have firefox automiatically retry the save (at least a few times), until it has fully suceeded? (maybe there can be a keep retrying for 60 seconds) to avoid a constant looping.

thanks :)

File handling might be the correct component for this issue.

I'll dupe to bug 1445211 because disabling my adblocker allows me to properly download the page.
