Why did the request to save files cease to appear?

In the settings, in the Downloads section, I have the setting: Always prompt for saving files.

But all the same on some site and with some additions the question on file saving does not appear. Before the update the browser worked well.

An example of an add-on in which a request has ceased to appear: https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/savefromnet-helper/

I would dump this myself : Советник Яндекс.Маркета 3.1.11.70 (sovetnik@metabar.ru) from Russia

Video Card Error. or way it is setup. featureLog: {u'fallbacks': [{u'message': u'Unsupported by driver', u'name': u'NO_CONSTANT_BUFFER_OFFSETTING'}],

SAFE MODE

In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:

  • all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
  • default theme is used (no persona)
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
  • default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
  • Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)
  • hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General)
  • plugins are not affected
  • preferences are not affected

The extension might be broken if it isn't working as intended.

You can check the Browser Console for error messages about this extension.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
