When will Firefox add Save Page button? Lots of small browsers has that for decades. It helps a lot to save WebPage and view them Offline by oppening the app then browse to saved pages. That fast and easy.

Extension to SaveWeb takes a lot of time and need to open another app to view them.

The long-press back button no longer summons the tab's history on my Android phone or my Galaxy tab. Mozilla appears to have disabled this feature quite recently. I'm referring to the small arrow in the lower right-hand corner that you hit quickly to go back once. It was quite useful to do a long press on the arrow and have the history of the tab pop up in a list. You could then pick any page on the list and go directly back, skipping over all the other pages.

Please reinstate this useful feature?

ESO login site is a public safety site that can't be loaded by Mozilla Firefox. https://www.esosuite.net/login/

It was working and then stopped in all three completely different networks and IOS. After using this site extensively for a long time after 1/15/2025 it stopped loading. It works in other browsers immediately.

This issue happens in:

Firefox Android with Att network Firefox Desktop with private IS provider Firefox Desktop with another private network

This site is the only one not working in three different devices, three different networks. Nothing was updated or changed. One day it just stopped showing the page with no error messages. Site works fine with chrome browser. Very Odd. I have tried to reload the app in the android device with no success accessing the site.

A while back I posted: Firefox NO LONGER adheres to "Ask if you want to Save" option..." Somehow - it was fixed after I posted - so I am trying again.

ALL my Application settings are correct - It says the browser is up to date - I am Windows 11 - Laptop. I don't know if it was an update that was just applied - I think it must be - As this was FINE yesterday - but NOW - When it press save - it automatically saves to a Download folder - It WILL NOT let me CHOOSE where to save. AND as you know in Settings, It says WHERE to save "DOWNLOADS" - you CAN change that - BUT - EVERY SAVE is DIfferent - I CAN'T and have NEVER saved something in the same folder every time - This was NEVER a problem - Just TODAY - so it has to be some upgrade that happened when I rebooted my laptop today. I have attached a screen grab - so you can see I have almost EVERYTHING as ALWAYS ASK - including Microsoft Word. HELP!!

I don't understand why it's happening at the first place, and how to solve this issue. I have installed Firefox 128.0.3 (64-bit) from Flathub.
