Hi,

I am a student, who tend to mass download files at once. The annoying part is that after every download, firefox automatically opens up the downloaded file in a new tap. How can I disable automatically open files after download?

Thanks.

Hi Terry,

The setting was "Open in Firefox". After setting the action to save file, it no longer pops up anymore. Thank you so much for guiding me to the proper location!
