Hello, I tried several times to download a file with Mozilla focus for android but I never succeeded. I granted the access to the storage but it didn't help. Is this a choice from the developers to prevent user from downloading or is it due to a bug or something ? I would make sense from a security standpoint but it is very strange ... Anyway I love the concept and the browser itself !

Yours respectively, Ickule

Hi Ickule,

I have to admit that I don't know the answer to your question. But as you don't seem to be the only one having this problem and Firefox Focus is currently very good at blocking everything that is potentially harmful to your device, I could Imagine that it also blocks downloads that you trigger purposefully.

Sorry for not having an answer for you right now.
