During testing when we need check the download file content, the browser will popup the download dialog.

How to skip the download dialog?

1. setting the profile

FirefoxProfile ffpf = new FirefoxProfile();  
ffpf.SetPreference("browser.download.folderList", 2);  
ffpf.SetPreference("browser.download.dir", "C:\\temp");  
ffpf.SetPreference("browser.download.useDownloadDir", true);  
ffpf.SetPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/octet-stream, application/vnd.ms-excel, text/csv, application/zip, application/xls");  
  
// Popup Windows  
ffpf.SetPreference("browser.popups.showPopupBlocker", false);  
//ffpf.SetPreference("dom.disable_open_during_load", false);  
                         
  
DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.Firefox();  
caps.SetCapability(FirefoxDriver.ProfileCapabilityName, ffpf.ToBase64String());  
IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(caps);

2. Use 3rd tools

Like autoit and so on..

When the download dialog popup, execute autoit script to click and save, you can found the solution on internet.
