I am a teacher using Edmodo for all student assignment submissions. Students use Preview to annotate PDFs and turn in the annotated PDFs to be graded. Each file I save prompts a new blank tab to be opened. This is frustrating since I download 50-60 files per day and have to go back and close each new blank tab. Please advise how to correct this issue so that the files can be downloaded without a new tab opening.

Hi kellym210-

You can manage your preferences for file downloads so that this does not happen. Instructions for this are in this Support article:

Manage file types and download actions in Firefox

I hope that helps!
