Comment (by sysrqb):

 This is a bug in Fennec. Fennec does not provide an option for
 downloading/saving files. It only provides this for images. As far as I
 know, for every other html element type (simple links), it begins
 downloading the file and then the app 1) checks if it can handle the file
 itself (like text files), 2) checks if another app on the device can
 handle it (like pdfs), and 3) simply downloads the file.

 I found these:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1546274

 This isn't exactly the same bug, but it is similar. There are a few other
 bugs related to how Fennec handles downloads, too.

 I suspect this will never be fixed in Fennec. Maybe [https://github.com
 /mozilla-mobile/fenix Fenix] will behave differently.
