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.
I don't use Edge... Yes, why wouldn't I want fixes and security updates faster? It looks like there is at least 3 people just in this comment thread that are OK with this.
I use Linux and one applies updates when they wish and it can be done on Windows by setting updates for overnight or pausing updates. People will complain about anything.
I used it yesterday to create an ISO, then I mounted it just to check the build number, and it was 26200.8653 which I couldn't find any info about, I knew the latest Patch Tuesday biuld was 26200.8655.
Can Confirm, this only appears to happen on Edge installed on Android, No issue on Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Browsers.
Android 16
Samsung OneUI 8.5
Newest Releases of Each Browser (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Samsung Browser)
This happens both With and Without my VPN being active.
