1962916 - All downloads of files are screwing up the file name by automatically including at the beginning of the downloaded file name "UTF-8"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1961710

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[jwsj]

Attachment: firefox dl screenshot - 4-27-25.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:137.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/137.0

Steps to reproduce:

Simply download files received by email. Even files I sent to my own email to retrieve at my office from home.

Actual results:

When downloading a file FIREFOX is automatically now changing the file name, inserting "UTF-8" at the beginning of the file name. So the file name "letter to client" is is my downloads folder as "UTF-8letter to client". This has been happening since the last Firefox "upgrade".

Expected results:

The file name of the file downloaded should not have changed. Please stop this nonsense. I am an attorney and don't have time to constantly change the name of files downloaded after downloading them.
