Access to file download dialog in Firefox

Question

Is there any kind of API that can allow me to manipulate a file download dialog in Firefox? (I want to access the one that appears when user does something, not initiate one

Answer 1

I didnt unserstood your objective, Do you wanted your test to automatically download file when test is getting executed, if yes, then You need to use custom Firefox profile in your test execution.

In the custom profile, for first time execute test manually and if download dialog comes, the set it Save it to Disk, also check Always perform this action checkbox which will ensure that file automatically get downloaded next time you run your test.
