6 years ago Please check your browser setting: "Always ask" for downloads. ... If it's checked, it may be a reason to open several "save as" browser popups.

6 years ago Which FF version do you use. .. It seems the FF 63 - beta has an internal problem with lower-case uppercase info loaded from the local store. I'm investigating this problem already.

6 years ago I thought I mentioned it but it somehow got lost in the editing. I do have "Always ask" enabled, but file-backups is the only extension which fails to circumvent the Save As dialogs. (ie. I have other extensions which use the same downloads API to save files just fine without opening dialogs)
As for the versions, I'm running file-backups 0.3.5 on a Mozilla build of Firefox Developer Edition 63.0b4 (64-bit) on Kubuntu 14.04.5 LTS. (Kids, don't report bugs while sleep-deprived. You'll forget stuff that's standard to provide.)

5 years ago should be fixed in .10-beta https://github.com/pmario/file-backups/issues/28#issuecomment-525451252
Something about file-backups is causing it to fire off two or three Save As dialogs on my system for each TiddlyWiki Ctrl+S while other addons like Web ScrapBook (and my own experiments) get away with streaming a veritable flood of un-prompted files to within my downloads folder without a single prompt.
(On the exact same browser version and profile. When file-backups didn't work as expected, I tried triggering Web ScrapBook to check if something had changed without me noticing.)
