 I edited the following in about:config

 media.mediasource.mp4.enabled => false
 media.mp4.enabled => false

 But this did not yield the expected behavior of saving the file to my
 Download folder. Instead the browser began saving a temp file in
 ./Download without notifying me and without even an entry in the download
 manager.

 After playing around I discovered that if I disabled the Torbutton addon I
 would get the expected behavior of asking me to download an mp4 file when
 clicking on a direct link to one, e.g. http://www.moo.you/123.mp4

 This is observed with Tor Browser for Android alpha-60.2.1  and the
 included Torbutton 2.1 installed from F-Droid.
