 Downloading files in Tor Browser on Android is sometimes confusing and not
 safe. There are two separate but related issues.

 Problems:

 1. Downloads are saved in the shared storage. See #26574 for more
 information about this and downloading files into the app's internal
 storage.
 2. When the app is restarted after downloading a file, the file is not
 listed in Tor Browser's Downloads list anymore. This is very confusing,
 especially because the file is still saved in the shared storage. I
 suspect this is because private browsing mode doesn't save state
 (including recent downloads).
