In browser downloads don't seem to be working

[kclevenger]

Trying to download an iso (or anything from any source) doesn't throw any kind of an error and appears to work, but the file isn't downloaded and isn't added to the Downloads list (Ctrl+J). It also doesn't show up in live download status in the 'Recent download history' menubar button.

Please add more details about your system, perhaps your environment is different in some way? Did it work before?

Ryzen 8840HS, 64G mem, current Arch, swayfx, fish shell. Default (xdg, env) browser is Firefox. Nothing too unusual. Let me know if there's something specific I can get you.

I recently changed from Thorium to Ungoogled, so I hadn't needed download until now and don't know if download was an issue in previous versions.

Download with Thorium (130.0.6723.174) works fine. Also confirmed that downloads work fine with current plain Chromium (135.0.7021.0).

Do you intentionally run ungoogled-chromium with a separate profile or was it only for the test: $ chromium --user-data-dir=/tmp/chromium/? Does the default profile behave the same?

[kclevenger]

Here --user-data-dir=/tmp/chromium/ was for testing and to rule out anything in my existing profile or an extension causing issues. Normally it's the usual ~/.config/chromium
