Invoice Ninja v5 Unusual Behaviour

When I open a client record to view invoices and then open an invoice a save dialogue pops up asking to save the downloaded invoice even though I did not click any option to save.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Hi,

Are you using Firefox?

Yes. How did you guess?

The problem is likely related to the PDF settings in the browser.

I can confirm this. I primarily use Firefox and it’s due to how PDFs are rendered. Firefox downloads the document first, before displaying it. If you do not have it set to automatically download to a specific directory, Firefox will present the pop-up asking where to download it. Chromium based browsers (Google Chrome, brave, Edge, etc) render a PDF via cache, therefore saving a PDF in those browsers is another step.

That sounds like a Firefox engineers problem :grinning: :grinning: :grinning:
