Hi Help would be much appreciated. Whenever I download an Adobe file it opens in a new window which is fine. But the problem is it also switches to the new Adobe window. I dont want this to happen as I am downloading around 50 Adobe documents at one time and to keep switching forward andback is a real pain and I often lose which place I am at. Can anyone help so it does NOT switch to new Adobe window but stay on Mozilla page.

Thanks very much.

That would seem like a settings where your Active Windows it set to the opened page. I don't think FF does this but it is from the O/S that makes this change. Looking at my FF60 there is no setting to make what it opens the Active Windows.

If you would open the documents in a new tab then you can prevent Firefox from setting focus to the tab (load links in the background with a middle-click). You can easily tear off a tab (drag the tab slightly down or use the tab context menu) at a later time if you really want each document in a separate window.
