I have a Galaxy Note9 and images downloaded from the Firefox(v80.1.3) app have no date information. This causes them to not show in the gallery app, not until I restart my phone or rename the image in my local storage/downloads folder.

It seems to only affect Firefox as I have tested it on chrome and the Samsung browser and they all work fine. I've even tested different images and sites, all to the same effect. This all appeared after Firefox recently did an update on the app, which is why I suspect its a Firefox issue.

Is there anyway to resolve this issue.

Hmm, I think there has to be some date assigned to a file when it is saved. Is it possible that the date is backdated based on when the server said the image was last modified??

A file manager might be useful to research the file attributes further. Although it's not the prettiest or most self-explanatory app, I find that Total Commander works well.

There is a date assigned it's just not immediately put into the file. It seems to have the data but it takes a restart of my device to apply to the file or a rename/edit.
