I want to autodownload the file when clicking on particular link. But, here pop up window asking for open and save option gets opened in selenium with firefox browser.

from selenium import webdriver

profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()

profile.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/text"+",application/pdf"+",txt/csv/xls"+",text/plain")
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.openFile", "application/text"+",application/pdf"+",txt/csv/xls"+"text/plain" )
profile.set_preference("browser.download.dir", tempDir)
url = "http://www.seleniumeasy.com/test/generate-file-to-download-demo.html" #sample website
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path= firefox_path, firefox_profile=profile)
driver.get(url)

inpbox = driver.find_element_by_id("textbox")
inpbox.send_keys("Lorem Ipsum \r\n")
driver.find_element_by_id("create").click()
import time
time.sleep(2)
driver.find_element_by_id("link-to-download").click()

Here I am working on Python 3.6 and Firefox 60.0.1 version.

Do you want to download it physically, or you want to make sure, that file will be downloaded, if you click on the link? – Andrei Suvorkov May 28 '18 at 09:46
I want to download it to the particular location. – abhi1610 May 28 '18 at 09:48
You can have a look here. https://github.com/chriskiehl/pyrobot. – Andrei Suvorkov May 28 '18 at 09:51
That's Good. But I want to do this with only selenium if possible. – abhi1610 May 28 '18 at 11:00

Here `"text/plain"` probably should be `",text/plain"`. – Andrei Suvorkov May 28 '18 at 11:04
