When I click on a html element, as below: <a download="" target="_blank" href="http://example.com/video.mp4">Download</a> My firefox 47.0.1 plays the file on another tab when I'd like it be downloaded. In order to achieve what I seek I always need to right click and select save as... I was looking some trick that could make it simpler. I wonder if firefox has some solutions like they say on the link below that chrome has? http://superuser.com/questions/186661/is-there-a-setting-in-google-chrome-that-will-force-it-to-download-media-files-i/186678#186678 By the way mp4 is set to Download on MIME/type settings of firefox Thanks in advance.
