Actually, It is not possible to handle the Native windows using the selenium web driver. You can go for the third party tool like AutoIT to resolve this kind of issue.

In firefox also you can do the same thing.

  1. Create one firefox profile
  2. Change the firefox download setting as it should save files without asking about location to save
  3. Launch the automation using that profile.

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile(profileDir);

driver=new FirefoxDriver(profile);

below you can see how to change firefox file download settings

enter image description here

And then by using by some programming language you can do remaining things
