SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the inability to change the default app for downloading files on an Android device, specifically a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 running Android version 4.1.2. The user set Firefox as the default downloader and is frustrated that it automatically downloads files without prompting.

The user seeks further assistance and references external links for potential solutions.
