Browser repeatedly downloads same file.
« on: February 21, 2016, 08:08:25 AM »
Every time I start SafeZone (1.48.2066.44) browser it downloads the same file and my Downloads folder is full of them - the same file with ever increasing numbers. I have used SafeZone's "Clear Downloads" button several times but it has made no difference; the file just gets downloaded every time SafeZone starts. What can I do about it, does anybody know?

Is the browser started with some existing tabs? Some pages can trigger download.

What settings you have in Settings -> On startup

Thanks

Thanks for your helpful answer, ondrejz.
Yes, I closed the offending tab and the problem has gone.
Cheers.
