Same cause as https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12182, closing as a dupe.

@denschub Hello The last comment of the other issue says that the solution works. It was in Nov 2020. Not sure to understand what is the conclusion because both issues are closed and the problem is still there... Thank you.

[denschub]

@Primokorn that's a good point, actually. I may have mixed something up here while doing a quick triage. I'll reopen and check again :)

The server is saying that the file's content-type is text/plain, so that could be throwing Firefox off. However, it's working fine for me on my macbook in the responsive design mode, as the downloaded file's extension is .img and not changed to .txt. So this is probably specific to the Android browser. I'll try on a phone ASAP.

[wisniewskit]

Yes, this seems to be phone-specific, as the same content-type is served to Android and it's saving the .img as a .txt. This does seem to effective be a duplicate of Fenix bug 25568.

I'm not sure, but perhaps the website could serve the files with the MIME type application/octet-stream to prevent this renaming? It's worth reaching out to them to do so anyway, as it might throw off other downloaders.
