This has been bugging me for a while; it seems pretty major, but I can't find a bug about it, and it's been true for ages, which makes me think it must be a policy decision.
Why can't I download stuff using Firefox for Android? The usual example is an audio file - perhaps a sermon - which I want to save to my phone to listen to later, e.g. in the car. If I just click the link to it, it shows in the browser - and there's no "Save" option I can find. If I long-press the link, there are lots of options to share it with my friends, but again no "Save" or "Download" option. And HTML5 audio players don't seem to have a long-press menu either. If the link markup contains the download attribute, I assume it would trigger a download, but often, people don't know to add that. So we need something that works in the common case where that's not there. At the moment, in order to get the file on my phone, I have to download it on my desktop, connect a cable, and copy it across. This is clearly silly. What gives? What am I missing? :-) Gerv _______________________________________________ mobile-firefox-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mobile-firefox-dev
