RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1306334

Details

Steps to reproduce:

go to https://cr.kungfoo.net/yao/downloads/multiple/

Actual results:

firefox downloads multiple files imminently without any chance for the user's input including when the Always Ask you Where to Save files prompt is on as well

Expected results:

we should ask for permission similar to chromium however that can be bypassed by pressing and holding the tab key without saying accept or deny for some reason

filing this as a security bug feel free to remove the security flag if this is not considered a security bug

Firefox on Andriod is somewhat affected by this the only difference is that it requires user interaction to initiate the download

This is an unfortunate but known issue.
