How can I prevent Firefox from automatically opening tabs and switching to the tab every time I download a file?

The obvious thing would be to uncheck the box that says "When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately"

Nice try, but U N F O R T U N A T E L Y, that method does NOT work! With the box unchecked, I still get a new tab that gets switched to.

I'm trying to download 10 years of bank statements. I do not want 120 tabs popping up!
