uBlock Origin Problem
Can some one help with uBlock origin
every time i try to download something via right click a window pops up saying "The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred"
everything works fine when i disable uBO completley in addons
is there a particular setting that does this? does some one know
EDIT:
Found the problem, It was the "Easy Privacy List" for some reason
admin can close this

Re: uBlock Origin Problem
If this occurs every time you try a download, my non-expert opinion would be to create a new profile, then add uBo to your new profile, and then try a download. Sometimes profiles get corrupt.
Or, before that route, you can list all of the filters you use in uBo, and any non-standard settings you've made in it.

Re: uBlock Origin Problem
Look at uBO's logs to see what all first party scripts were blocked on that page. The name or the URL of the script should give you a clue as to what it's for and whether it could be related to uploading files. In the log page for uBO, if you type -- in the search bar, it will show only what was blocked (with a red background).
That's like burning down your house to get rid of a spider (arachnophobes may find that a sensible precaution )

Re: uBlock Origin Problem
Which isn't the case here, since an errant uBO filter was the culprit.

Re: uBlock Origin Problem
uBlock Origin (uBO) is a very effective and forgiving AdBlocker used in its basic mode. Amazingly, almost no user knowledge or interaction is required... so I suspect we all tend to take uBO rather for granted... it just works.
uBO is very simple to install... and just leave 'as is'... i.e. make no changes. Simply leave uBO with its basic setup and the default selection of filter lists that are automatically enabled on installation. uBO will then work day in, day out, usually without a hitch and with the activated filter lists being update automatically every few days. No user input required.
However, uBO is really an extremely capable and complex blocking tool which will reward further reading, learning, and thus users gaining deeper insight and understanding into 'howto' use uBO's many capabilities and more advanced features... like uBO's built-in 'Logger' as moonbat recommends using in the discussion above.
There's lots of info available online... fully detailed instructions on uBO's GitHub project pages... a dedicated uBO project Reddit... and several intelligently written 3rd-party reviews with précis 'setup' and 'howto' use advice:

Re: uBlock Origin Problem
Pays to just learn to use the logger when a site breaks because of it. At least you can see what got blocked that shouldn't have, and the filter that was responsible. Beats having to totally disable it on the site and then face the ads and other crap on it.

Re: uBlock Origin Problem
You ignored the critical point ron_1 made: "something else is wrong". I also use the same filter list and don't have the download problem either. It must be the filter in combination with something else (OS, config setting, extension), and people reporting this stuff aren't giving enough details or doing routine troubleshooting. And it does sound to me like the discussion in the other thread.

Re: uBlock Origin Problem
@Michaell: I tend to agree with both you and ron_1... if this was a widespread problem there would be dozens of reports.
However, just a couple of times recently I have experienced the same/similar 'hesitation' with the operation of the right-click 'Save As...' option... and got a "The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred" warning pop-up. I happened to just click the 'Save As...' option again on both occasions... and second time round the save/download command worked normally.
I can't repeat this 'hesitation'... so it may have been a sticky mouse button... or the filter list has since been updated... or gremlins... or whatever? So regret a 'Not Proven' judgement would be handed-down in a Scottish court.

Re: uBlock Origin Problem
The OP didn't bother to search before posting.
The issue was already discussed recently so this is definitively a duplicate thread.
