Features & Capabilities

Firefox for Android before version 79 didn't provide any option to prompt the user before starting a file download.

This might lead to some unwanted files getting in your Android download folder after accidental taps on download links.

Android Download Prompt keeps your Android download folder nice and tidy by stopping downloads and asking whether or not you want to download the file.

The extension can be disabled/re-enabled from Firefox menu by tapping "Download Prompt (on/off)".

Privacy policy: The extension does not collect data.

This add-on is intended as a workaround for Firefox on Android before version 79 (which has it's own download prompt).

works like intended. I use it for FF 91.9.1 esr on PC. Normal downloads won't be changed, but forced downloads like on itch.io and other (who normally bypass the prompt) were requested. Could be a little bit better - that only a little popup were shown instaed of a whole tab and return to the earliert ab when answering

Is Android Download Prompt Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Android Download Prompt requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Allows management of download operations but generally doesn't severely affect security unless misused.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Android Download Prompt has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
