getting kicked off current webpage when I download Microsoft Word Documents

more options

I am on a school site and frequently download Word documents. Prior to a recent update ( this summer) the files went to a download manager and I could either work o the document or continue to work on the current webpage. However, sionce the update, the docuemnt is saved but inthe process I am kicked off the current webpage. Should I revert back to a previous version of Firefox or is there a workaround or patch? Thanks

Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by "kicked off." Does the page sign you out, or does the tab navigate to another page, or does the tab close?

What happens if you immediately restore the closed tab using Ctrl+Shift+T or menu > History > Recently Closed Tabs? Does it let you continue, repeat the download, or close itself again?
