Trying to download txt files automatically

Hello, I am trying to download some txt files via firefox in an automatic fashion using the python webbrowser API. Firefox opens the txt files directly in the tab, which leads to all kind of unwanted behavior when trying to use the right click save option. Is it possible just to save the txt files? Looking at previous forum entries, I tried changing the Content-Disposition and Content-Type via plugin, but they did not seem to affect the link given. Thanks

Got it working with Selenium and notive that Firefox(?) adds some <link rel="stylesheet" href="resource://content-accessible/plaintext.css">


to the page_source element. Ugh :(
