Firefox 98 released

[Posted March 8, 2022 by corbet]
Version 98.0 of the Firefox browser is out. The big change this time is a new "optimized download flow" that is alleged to make the process of downloading files go much more smoothly. There are also some significant security fixes in this release.

The old download flow was a significant plus point of firefox vs chrome for me. Sometimes I want to save a PDF, sometimes open it in firefox, sometimes open it in another program. I don't want firefox to assume that what I last did is what I always want. Apparently there is no way to get the old behaviour back. This is not user-friendly.

I don't think that's true, at least according to Mozilla's Manage Downloads preferences using the Downloads menu panel page. See the section I want to configure a different behavior for some files. How do I do that without the dialog?: "This is where you can customize download actions for different file types as before, such as having Firefox always ask what to do when you download that type of file."

I have not yet upgraded, so hopefully you are correct.
