Extensions are changed on download
I realize that if a file is served with mime type Content-Type: application/pgp-encrypted, then its extension is changed by Firefox on Android to ".pgp". Apparently, Firefox for Android likes to modify extensions based on mime type.
Can this behavior be disabled?

Thanks! I was hoping that there is an option in about:config.
The problem at hand is that .pgp somehow are not opened by OpenKeychain upon download, whereas .gpg files are.
Otherwise, Firefox on Android is attractive, especially the built-in PDF viewer. I hope this issue will be fixed.
What is the rationale? Make sure that file extensions match mime type? (security)
In the meantime, I am trying to figure out if it is possible to have OpenKeychain show up as handler for .pgp files.
Thanks! I would just like to understand the rationale.
I don't even mind so much the change of the extension. What I do mind is that OpenKeychain is not listed as an option to decrypt .pgp files. With ".gpg" files, that issue does not exist.
Thanks! But, as far as I understand it, it's not a bug. It seems to be intentional.
Sorry if that didn't fix your issue. Do you want me to try asking someone that works on Firefox about this?
