The load only switches to a download load after the initial response is received from the network with the MIME type.
In the past this was always handled by following the "opener" relationship between windows, however in bug , it was noticed that noopener loads would not have an opener, so the tab would open and not close. To fix this, the code was updated to re-parent the dialog to the embedding chrome window when the tab is going to be closed. Unfortunately, in the new-window case, this would behave strangely, as the chrome window will also be closed when the last tab in that window is closed.
It seems that for non-windows platforms, this ends up being OK, as the dialog is created before the chrome window is fully destroyed, and functions without a parent window. On Windows, however, it seems we inform the OS of the relationship, and it takes the liberty of closing our dependent dialogs for us when the window goes away.

Update, my coworker just said she was downloading documents in firefox in our email and a popup showed up and asked if she wanted to do this for all future transactions, she thought it only meant when downloading so she said yes.
How can I undo what she did? I'm not trying to find alternative ways of saving a video, I'm trying to get Firefox to work like it's supposed to and used to. The videos I need to download I can't right-click on, they are buttons I have to 'normal-click' on, then I get the download prompt, but the functionality is the same as if you clicked the 'MP4' link under the video in the sample link.
Only now, since the 'Always Ask' functionality is broken, I never get the download prompt, it just starts playing. If there's some way to make clicking on the MP4 link give me an 'Always Ask' style dialog so I can chose download instead of play, that will fix my problem. That's why I provided that link to test so others can see the problem I'm having. I have Firefox set to 'Always Ask' for. MP4 files, and it ignores that setting and plays the video anyway. Yes, those are exactly the links I referenced in my original post.
I want to be able to click normal click, not right-click on any one of those links, and immediately have Firefox ask what to do with the file. That way I can chose 'save file' and just download it directly to my computer. Right now, even though I have. MP4 files set to 'Always Ask', Firefox ignores that setting and just starts playing the video I'm curious if anyone has or can find a setting to fix that.
Is this a specific behavior solely for Firefox to perform or do you want it to be the same across all browsers for the user experience? Browsers in general are producing a seamless experience by enabling video display direct in the View so that there is less downloading and swapping of technology to render the video. With so many video playing apps in the market, it just makes the experience more fluid and easier to manager by having the web browser handle it.
If you are wanting to force the download of the files you can do this from the server side by adding something like for e. Well, I only use Firefox, so I'd be fine if it's specific to Firefox I'm trying to download from someone else's server, so have no access to the settings on it.
