I've just downloaded a PDF from my bank using Firefox 108 (snap) in Ubuntu 22.04 and it hasn't been marked as executable so further information is required from you in order to investigate the problem that you have reported. ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - firefox says dowloaded pdf files are executable files + Firefox says downloaded PDF files are executable -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1999845 Title: Firefox says downloaded PDF files are executable Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Version 108.0 installed the other day. Just went to download the PDF of a journal article from one of the journals published by the American Chemical Society. “acs.chemrestox.2c00268-2.pdf” is an executable file. Executable files may contain viruses or other malicious code that could harm your computer. Use caution when opening this file. Are you sure you want to launch “acs.chemrestox.2c00268-2.pdf”? I reported this to the Mozilla Support Team about a month ago.
