Can you give us an example link to where it fails downloading images or saving pdf files.

Also how are you downloading those files ? By right clicking save link as or do you open the pdf in the internal viewer and then hit save or use save image as with opened image ?

Now that I have the alternate version of Firefox I can't reproduce either. There were a lot of videos I needed for a presentation that I had to download by letting Video DownloadHelper put it where it wanted it, or via Ant, that Video DownloadHelper would fail to download if I specified destination. One such was
Phoenician - Cape of Good Hope – YouTube.mp4 https://youtu.be/njrvfv9M_Wg

At one point the download info arrow stopped working, though the Tools menu item still did. The "open containing folder" option either did nothing or Dolphin claimed it couldn't find it. Ant claimed the folder didn't exist, though I found the file in the Ant download folder. There was a similar problem with images. The download history for these files still can't find them, eg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c...eme-en.svg

PDFs I opened via the Firefox preview dialog with Okular and saved from there, otherwise nothing happened. Images, again lots of them, would not - "right click/save image as" - so I copied them and pasted into Gimp or direct into a .odt. I can now "save as", although the filename seems always to be serveimage.jpeg. Which I'm sure used not be the case.

There is also an ongoing problem, in a separate post, with the filenames of attachments in Kmail - https://forums.mauilinux.org/showthread.php?tid=24292
Also maybe irrelevant.
