Prompt before download is not working

[anasabdulmoghny]

If I Enable the "Prompt before download" setting the file gets downloaded by chrome instead of motrix, I have to turn it of to download the file via motrix

Same problem on Edge.

我的浏览器是edge的，我的情况是如果启用了“下载前提示”，则插件和桌面端都不工作。

Same problem:

• Motrix: v1.8.19
• motrix-webextension: v23.8.5
• Edge: v119.0.2151.44

After migrating to Manifest v3 this is no longer supported by Chrome or Firefox. This feature will be removed.

We were using prompt() API

let's keep this open for anyone in the future to implement an alternative method for this if its possible.

What was prompt before download?

Prompt before download was a feature that allowed users to type a path before downloading a file. File will be downloaded to the path.
