Hi Ashish Negi,

Sorry, there is not attached file to your question.

I know what you mean, but I think it depends on the website. And that one is maybe differently setted for Firefox and other browsers. I can't find any option to fix your problem in the advanced configuration.

What is the content of the window? Are you talking about the Download Manager?

That window (new tab) content is calendar file which can be ics or vcs. And i am not using any downloading tool.

In other browser new tab opened with url "about:blank" and get closed automatically once download complete but in firefox a different url displayed in url bar that is "https://mail.google.com/_/scs/mail-static/_/js/k=gmail.main.en.WMsW1NJUJRo.O/m=m_i,t,it/am=PiMeAtz9e38QY8zapS9U2Hv_fe6S4iefh_smTQDJXgD83-z_AfwaoI--gAE/rt=h/d=1/t=zcms/rs=AHGWq9DdI2OvjcRalx2eez8N0XF1kfEUyg". I don't know from where this url generated.
