• The issue still exists against the latest master branch of bootstrap-fileinput.
• This is not an usage question. I confirm having read the plugin documentation and demos.
• This is not a general programming / coding question. (Those should be directed to the webtips Q & A forum).
• I have attempted to find the simplest possible steps to reproduce the issue.
• I have included a failing test as a pull request (Optional).

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. add downloadUrl
2. use Mozilla Firefox

Expected behavior and actual behavior

Isolating the problem

• This bug happens on the plugin demos page

I had to add document.body.appendChild(a); in the fileinput.js .kv-file-download click action

Hi,
I had the same problem and I found a temporary solution:
Add this to your file input config:

layoutTemplates:{ actionDownload: '<button type="button" class="{downloadClass}" title="{downloadTitle}" data-caption="{caption}" onclick="window.location.href=\'{downloadUrl}\'">{downloadIcon}</button>\n', }

It will replace the default download button by the one specified (http://plugins.krajee.com/file-input/plugin-options#layoutTemplates).
It's no good looking solution, but it seems to work for Safari, Firefox and Chrome.
