A fairly common bug lately on MAC computers with Macos Sonoma operating system, prevents you from creating a new folder when you download files to Safari.

Basically, when you want to create a folder with the "New Folder" button for the file you download with safari, the file window (Finder) remains blocked and apparently you can do nothing. The only handy solution is to press the "ESC" button to unlock the screen.

For the moment, the exact causes that lead to this problem are not known, but a solution is to press the "ENTER" key when the window in which you want to create a new folder remains blocked. A “Untitled Folder” folder will be automatically created, which can then be renamed.
