7 years ago Hi, I tried to reproduce the issue, but this is what I got:
- When I follow indicated steps with Firefox, a new tab opens but the browser says it can't find a DNS address of the server, and the new tab is not being closed.
- When I additionally use a VPN, a new tab opens and the new tab is closed as soon as the download starts.
so I couldn't reproduce the issue. I guess it is rather how the browser works by design, than an issue of PopupBlocker. This userscript focuses on preventing opening a new window, it currently does not have any code to close an already opened window.
Firefox 55.0.3 x64 Adguard 6.2.400 Popup Blocker 2.1.7 Sample URL for testing: https://clicknupload.org/mqmnl7mnqbsg
Proceed to generate download link.
Issue: When the final download button is present and you click on it, it opens a new tab, download goes to your browser or download manager and the new blank tab remains as it is.
Expected Behavior: In chrome, although after clicking the final download button, chrome also opens a new tab but as soon as the download start, that new tab closes by itself.
