How to stop auto download of sailfish browser
asked 2016-11-21 02:21:05 +0300
Last time I used Browser to download a file. And before it finished I closed Browser. Download was done. Now every time I open Browser, download remorse timer pops up and tells me it is going to download. Clean data from Settings can not help.
Transfer page. All items on the page are same. That's what Browser downloaded every time it was opened.
Edited 2016.11.22 modified topic and text.
Edited 2016.11.24 added screenshot.
Edited 2017.3.14 still in 2.1.0.9
Edited 2017.4.6 still in 2.1.0.11
Reopened 2020.07.24 with 3.2.1.20
as I was (the first time!) hit by this today.
We may close it as we have a workaround (but not a solution and definitely not released in a SW update by Jolla!). But now I understand this meta question a bit more and and say vote up so Jolla solves it?
Close the tab which initiates the download.

fishegg ( 2016-11-22 00:13:49 +0300 )I added the bug tag, since if you tried to clear the browser content from Settings and closed all open tabs, this shouldn't happen.
raketti ( 2016-11-22 09:05:33 +0300 )I think it's a bug as well. Had the same experience. Only solution I found to stop it was to completely download another file. Did this happen on 2.0.5 or 2.0.4?
It has nothing to do with open tabs or active transfers in settings.
