As the newer Firefoxes for Android doesn't allow any about:config settings anymore, e.g. for download location, but are offering usage of an "external download manager", I've installed Download Navi.
Unfortunately, both when call via Firefox or standalone and navigate to settings, no chance to navigate to or select existing and mounted sdcard, formatted as external storage.
E.g.:
Start DL Navi
Settings / Storage / "Downloads save at" (translated from German)
root folder shown is /storage/emulated/0, which is internal
When I tab on "..", "access denied" is shown.
When I click on "SYSTEM MANAGER", the desired folder (e.g /storage//Downloads) cannot be selected "This folder can't be used". For my own safety ;)
Guess this is because Google's redesign for Android 11 file system layout and access rights.
Anything I can do now, setting an option, somewhere else?
Or if not, any plans to enhance Download Navi in future to support access to all folders?
I know from Open Source "Simple File Manager" (https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-File-Manager) that Simple File Mgr is able to deal with all folders incl. sdcard. Now, AFAI remeber was a change after Android 11 was introduced.
So I hope possible for other non-Google Apps also :)
This may be fixed in my fork, but currently you won't be automatically redirected to enable "Manage All files permission" and you need to enable it manually.
