Can you retest using v3.2.2? and reopen this if issue still occurs

I agree with the thread opener @gphwang. Although his post is from 2018, the problem is currently there: In version 4.30, saving longer texts in Firefox for Windows (standard version) has not worked for a long time (never for me). Saved text files are maximum about 16kB in size. Sometimes a few bytes more, sometimes a few bytes less. => No visible error message / hint message if the marked text is greater than about 16kB If you do a simple copy (STRG-C) and paste (STRG-V) without Addon > all is fine, no limitation.

This 16kB problem exist in some other Addons too, but doesn't exist in Addon "Save in ..." (https://github.com/gyng/save-in).  

How can I check if this problem occurs on my PC too? For all people out there, this is good to check on this web page. Please leave a message here on github if you have the same issue YES or NO: Repeat Text Generator (https://www.handcoded.co.uk/php/app-1) E.g. copy this text here and paste it on that website and let the script there duplicate this text 1000 times. Now the text is large enough to run a test with really larger >16KB.

I have used "Save Text to File" in Firefox for many years, and the limit of ~16kB has always been there. @bobbyrne01 : Do you know what causes this limit? Recently I found that it does not exist in the Chrome version.
