 Replying to [comment:10 cypherpunks]:
 > There's something broken with the "Save Link As..." contextual action,
 as well:

 Yes. We might want to outsource that one to an own ticket as the external
 helper app dialog is involved and we had a bunch of trouble with that
 piece while transitioning to esr52. I created #22649.

 > * Furthermore, "sometimes" Tor Browser's custom "Save external file
 type?" dialog is not shown, instead Firefox's "Save As" dialog is shown
 directly.  When this happens, after confirming said "Save As" dialog, the
 download is not started ("nothing happens", as they say).  I have not yet
 discovered a reliable way of reproducing this but it's not rare, it occurs
 after trying a few times with random links.

 #22616 might be ov interest to you.
