The network.http.keep-alive.timeout preference specifies how long a file will be locked on the local disk #360

When I open https://outlook.office.com/mail in Mypal-68.13.7.en-US.win32 and create a new email by adding a file from the local disk as an attachment to this email, this file is blocked in time specified in the network.http.keep-alive.timeout preference (default: for 115 seconds), even though the time needed to add a file to an e-mail message is many times smaller. For example, it is not possible to edit this file (in the program assigned to it) within the time specified by the network.http.keep-alive.timeout preference value, even if the e-mail message has already been sent and is no longer being edited or viewed. In my opinion, linking the network.http.keep-alive.timeout preference with the file locking time on the local disk is a mistake, because this preference is intended to apply to network connections, not local ones. This may be the same bug as: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1642951 , but I'm not sure.

1642951 firefox-esr68 -| unaffected, so check how it works on the original 68.

I'm sorry, but my entry was hasty. Perhaps (but it is not certain!) This problem occurs only after installing the add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/traduzir-paginas-web. (a more detailed examination did not confirm this assumption; I will look for another reason) I will try to determine the exact dependence of this error, and for now please ignore my report.
