About PART Files
Firefox and some download managers and torrent clients save files with a .part extension while they're downloading, then rename them when complete. A .part file is incomplete. If the download failed, restart it from the browser or app; renaming the file won't make it work.
How to Open a PART File
- Any device
- Resume or retry the download in Firefox's downloads panel or the app that created it.
