When downloading a file you may find that Firefox launches an unwanted blank window. This occurs because the webmaster has specified that the download should start in a new blank window even though this was probably not their intention. This is a known issue, Bug 241972.

You can fix the problem by downloading the Disable Targets for Downloads extension.

Webmasters can fix the problem on their site by removing target=_blank or window.open from the download links.
