Firefox download actions control what happens to recognised file types. Change the relevant content-type entry and test one trusted file; a download action, the save folder and a website video player are separate controls.
A document that opens when you expected it to save can feel like a missing download. Firefox download actions decide how recognised content types are handled. Before clicking the same link repeatedly, check whether the file opened inside the browser, went to a folder or was passed to another application.
Open Firefox Settings and find the file or content-type actions under Applications or Files and applications, depending on the version. Choose Save File, Always ask or a suitable application for that type. Changing the browser rule costs R0; confirm the actual download location before buying storage for files you simply have not found.
Use a trusted download you recognise and note its extension and source. The server's content type helps Firefox choose an action, so a misleading server response can behave differently from the filename you expected. One unusual website is not enough evidence that every PDF or image rule is wrong.
Look for the relevant content-type entry and change only that action. Keep a note of its original choice. A broad reset makes it harder to tell which rule was responsible, particularly if you regularly use several document applications and prefer different behaviour for each.
Saving a file and choosing its folder are different decisions. After testing the action, use the Downloads panel to find the result and inspect its location. Repeating the download may only create duplicate copies and make the original question more confusing.
For larger archives, external ssds may help with a genuine capacity or portability requirement. First establish how much space you need and where the files already live. A browser opening a document instead of displaying a save prompt does not prove the internal drive is full or faulty.
Firefox's documentation separates downloaded-file handling from media embedded in a webpage. If a video starts inside the page, changing a file-type action is the wrong experiment. Likewise, an application that cannot read a completed file needs a different check from a browser that saved it to an unexpected folder.
When considering asus laptops, keep the hardware decision tied to repeatable requirements such as storage capacity, memory and display space. Solve this browser workflow first. A single clean test, with one trusted source and one known action, gives you better evidence than replacing the computer while the same preference remains enabled.
