User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0 Build ID: 20170608105825 Steps to reproduce: Download a PDF file e.g. from ENBW account (utility invoice) or from ING-DiBa postbox (online banking). Unfortunately it works correct for many other sides and I couldn't find a free side (without login required) that shows the same bug. Actual results: A new empty TAB is opened (happens since some weeks) and the current TAB where you started the download is closed (you loose e.g. the banking session). This second effect seems to be new with newest version (happens since a few days). Everything works right, if you clean up Firefox, but as soon as you close Firefox and open again, the bug is back. After cleaning, no add-ons or plugins have been installed, no settings changed. Only menu and favorite bar have been activated again. Expected results: Keep current TAB, don't open empty TAB instead.
