Could you give an example to reproduce this? an example prompt and/or the website with the download link where this happens?

@deepak-akkil Thanks for your reply. An example of such incident is when i want to download a PDF from any website. For instance, arxiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.02318. If i give it a prompt that download the PDF from this URL. It will open it. But when i used firefox (i integrated a mini version myself) it downloaded it.

When it opens it instead of downloading it gets stuck in a loop trying to download it again and again.
