This post serves as a reference to Mozilla Firefox’s expected behaviour at the end of the project when subjected to multiple downloads. Google Chrome already has the Download spam protection feature in place.

Chrome was connected to the Test Web application’s Nodejs server and the following observations were made :

  • Chrome does not show a prompt irrespective of how many times downloads are initiated by clicking on the Initiate Single Download button.

  • It shows the prompt when the second download is initiated by the Initiate 5 downloads button. This happens even if multiple files have been downloaded using the single download button earlier.

  • It shows prompt for the second download initiated in the delay page. (delay page is opened when Initiate downloads after delay is clicked. The downloads are initiated every 10s seconds in this page without any user activity.)
