I have a hyperlink to .aac sound file and I want to save it so I can set it as a ring tone. Right click on the link doesn't give me "Save link as..." as it is on the desktop firefox. So I clicked on the link and a playback controls appeared. I was looking for "Save page as..." in the menu but it isn't there - only "Save as PDF". I was also looking for "Show page information" in the context menu so I can download page resource, but it's not there. How do I save a sound file?

Hi

You should be able to long press on the file link and the option to download the file should be available.

Can you share the page that you are downloading the file from?

For example this page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1860-Scott-Au-Clair-de-la-Lune-05-09.ogg

Holding on .ogg file a context menu shows: - Share link - Open in new tab - Open in new private tab - Copy link location - Adf bookmark

You would need to tap on the 1860-Scott-Au-Clair-de-la-Lune-05-09.ogg that takes you to https://upload.wikimedia.org.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2a/1860-Scott-Au-Clair-de-la-Lune-05-09.ogg long pressing on that should allow you to save the audio.
