Hello @addadi. Will test this asap to check where things went bad.

[addadi]

thanks a lot :) I found a workaround with the console.save snippet from here: http://bgrins.github.io/devtools-snippets/ so it's not that urgent. perhaps the code there can help you finding a solution for cross browser savings. Anyway thanks for the great library!

The thing which is strange is that I basically use the same method as the one displayed in your snippet. Do you have an error shown in the console when trying to use the lib's save methods?

[addadi]

nope. i tried on two machines (linux and windows) + with all addons disabled

artoo.savePrettyJson() does not work for me neither (firefox, ubuntu)

I'm having the same issue on Firefox 42.0, OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.

After a quick research + testing, seems like Firefox doesn't simulate the click if the element is not attached to the DOM.

A quick & dirty solution would be to attach the element, trigger the click, and remove the element afterwards.

If you are ok with this I can provide a pull request :).

@roperzh, this seems like a sensible solution. However I don't get why the snippet shown by @addadi works then since the element is not attached to the DOM either.
