The new download flow is not ideal! It looks to me like it could make it easier for websites to sneak a download on my device without knowing it. Am I wrong?

Glad we can still reverse it in the about:configuration though

Edit: and it seems like the update reversed some of my settings again :/. I usually don't mind it too much but this time it also affected the more important privacy settings

I use a password manager with a plugin and have been running "Firefox Developer Edition" so I often update several times a week. I've been careful to watch the "Save Passwords and Logins" setting (which has generally been carried across updates) but if you change settings in about:config, it's definitely inconsistent as you've noted.

Are you willing to share your custom settings? My changes to about:config were to enable U2F features before they were defaults.

Why must they reset the "always ask" download setting upon upgrade? And why is such a reset labeled a "fix"? Respect my existing settings, regardless of your new pointless UI features.

Seems strange to change the download default after may be 15 years? I wonder what was behind the thought process.

It is nice that they gave the option to move the address/search bar to the bottom, hower the most important missing feature for me is that ability to increase/decrease font size on any website like in iOS.

The advertisement for Disney's "Turning Red" after updating is a bit odd.
