I requested that the browser only open a file, and the browser downloaded it, opened and don’t remove it at the final. This occurred after that I update the browser version. Pdt: Its a really good browser, thanks you.

Hi, are you referring to Firefox 97 (beta)? Here is my understanding:

Starting in Firefox 97, the download flow is changing to a “Save First” flow unless another option was previously selection on the Settings/Preferences page.

Firefox 97 also will no longer launch files from the system TEMP folder, but instead save files in the user’s downloads folder.
