Downloading Active Database Problem #12

Hi Lunu, I am enjoying your great Firefox extension and hope to use it often but write now I am having difficulty with saving the active database. I have successfully created a database and several tables and they all function normally with the standard SQL
commands like Select or Insert, etc. When I attempt to download the active database(viewable on the upper-right corner like...
0:: my_database.sqlite), I see a download window with the choice to open or download but the file is "unknown_name.sqlite" instead of the expected my_database.sqlite, the current active database. When I try to open this file again, there is no recognizable database or data. What am I doing wrong? Is there something needed to make a database active? I also tried opening the file with my stand-alone SQLite3 application and that fails as well. Do the database files need to be in the Firefox application folder to be opened from the File>Open Database selection? If you need screenshots, I can upload them as requested. Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I just tried the extension on the latest FF, and I can download the DB just fine.

The filename is not correct, but the DB contains the intended binary. Can you try on a clean profile? What are the FF version and your OS?

Lunu, thanks for getting back to me so fast. You are right, the data is all there! I didn't try it once I saw the unknown_name file. I guess you need to rename the file once it is downloaded so the next download doesn't save over it. Is there a reason why it doesn't download with the database name as the file name? Just curious. Do I understand right that there is no documentation yet or tutorial that users can learn from? I am using Firefox 79.0 on a Windows 10 Pro, 2004 machine. I will continue to explore the math.js functions which look fantastic. Thanks for your help and expertise.
