you can switch the on the Pop-Up and confirm it, but I don't know to manage if.... Try that:

alert = browser.switch_to_alert()#switch to popup
alert.accept()#accept popup

I think this question has been answered here before and the answer is using another tool for automating the browser's dialog e.g. autoit How do we download a file by using Selenium?

Selenium can't control the download confirmation. It can, however, type a file path directly in to the file upload field if you're using a "privileged" browser mode for IE or Firefox. If you're using the default *iexplore and *firefox modes with Selenium RC 1.0 beta 2, try simply type a file path directly in to the form field. I do this myself and it works great.
