Click on a file to download Selenium Python

I use Selenium (python) and Firefox portable browser.

My goal is to download a lot of files using selenium (namely through Selenium). When you click on the link, the file should start downloading, but this window opens.

enter image description here

Tell me, are there any selenium settings to avoid opening such a window?

Try to set preference neverAsk.saveToDisk

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options


def example():
    opt = Options()
    opt.headless = False  # Or True

    fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()

    fp.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2)
    fp.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False)
    fp.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete", False)
    fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", 
                      "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint")
    fp.set_preference("browser.download.dir", "C:\\folder_name\\Downloads")

    firefox_browser = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=fp, options=opt)
