Title
Save as in Devtools could download files without sanitizing the extension
Summary
If a user saved a response from the Network tab in Devtools using the Save As context menu option, that file may not have been saved with the `.download` file extension. This could have led to the user inadvertently running a malicious executable. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 140 and Thunderbird 140.
