Hi there -

I just downloaded FireFox as my default browser on my new MacBook. Previously I was able to update the settings for how downloads behave. But I can't seem to find what I need now. Currently, when I download a file, FireFox ALSO opens it in a new tab...I don't want it to do that. I just want to download the file, but cannot find where to turn off its ability to also open the file in a new tab as I don't want it to do that.

Thank you for your help!
