Firefox download issues

Firefox is missing support for chrome.downloads.onDeterminingFilename
. To work around this in Firefox, save-in performs separate requests to
- get the filename header
Content-Disposition
via a HTTP HEAD request - download the file
Because downloading the file is a separate request, servers can choose to reject it. Sometimes it's due to the server checking cookies or checking the Referer
.
If your download works in Chrome and not in Firefox, it's very likely that this is the cause.
The implementation of this API is tracked on Bugzilla: Implement chrome.downloads.onDeterminingFilename
