downloading problems

Hello everybody!

i have a mac (monterey 12.4) that suddenly doesn't download file links of any kind- even pdf.

instead the music application automatically opens, where i see in the section of "recently added" a long link which is empty, or momentarily the file name appears in the desktop, without any result.

has anybody faced a similar issue?

thank you for reading my request for info.

Have a good day




iMac 21.5″ 4K, 12.4

Well, just to let you know, it works with a little tweaking, on firefox as well. The principle is basically the same, system preferences/general and you delete from the box with all the applications the action taken (basically the default program), when you open or download a file. You either choose the correct one, or select "always ask".

Thanks for guiding me to the right direction.

have a nice weekend!
