It's been best practice for years to disable it anyway... TS disables 2.0, installs Pwsh 7.whatever -

That's helpful, thanks. The key issue as I see it is that the issuer of the verification is still getting that request from WhateverNaughty.com, which immediately becomes a problem if this is a government issuer, etc. but it's a huge problem for any user with any issuer. I guess the solution, and maybe this goes without saying and I've missed it in your fine posts, is that the requester is also anonymized. That way, the issuer doesn't have a record of X person requested verification for Y website. And anyone who hacks that data is going to get precisely nothing. This only works is, as you say, this is a one-time challenge each time, and we all agree that no one is keeping/storing that data for any use anyway. After all, "is this person 18+ age" would only respond Yes/No, which is hardly actionable by anyone...as long as the asker only gets Yes/No and the Answerer doesn't know or care who's asking. :) Are both ends anonymized? -

It definitely can be especially if you live in a dorm or frat/sorority house during your time in college. However, for many who live at home or in their own off campus residence and commute to classes it can be just about the classes. That is how it was for me. Except for classes, time in the library and some time in the student union mostly for eating and taking a break between classes, I was never on compus -

As one person commented on my use of my old Pocophone, they are also MP3 players.

Question
Cheryl_27
Anyone seen the problem in recent DownThemAll download manager for Firefox (in Windows), where it duplicates the final folder in the storage path? A bug report was created by someone, but no response by devs. No replies to my post in Mozillazine/ Extensions forum, or my email to DownThemAll. No idea how many users it affects.
When select a file for d/l, then "browse" to the desired location - click Open; takes you back to DTA UI.
The path to save file then always shows the LAST folder in the path TWICE. It auto duplicates (creates it) the folder name a 2nd time:
EX: If browse to location to store file & select that path: D:\Temp\Addons... It will appear in DTA "save to" path as: D:\Temp\Addons\Addons.
And it actually creates the duplicated last folder in path & saves the file there. Everytime. You can back space to remove the duplicated folder in DTA UI, before saving, but that gets old. This is new problem in ~ last couple DTA versions and /or last few Firefox versions.
Problem has existed in last few versions of DTA, so don't know if they can't find a fix or only affects a few users.
Anyone had same problem or found the cause? Thanks.
