Hello,

You can try this:

• questions/931843

Note that Firefox will always open a file that is send as Content-type: text/plain in a tab.

• https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Network_Monitor

To prevent that you need to right-click the link to such a text file and use "Save Link As" to save the file directly and prevent it from opening in a new tab.
