Blank white page after downloading attachment in GMail is the fault of TabMixPlus

Finally a solution to this annoying bug (feature?)!

If you’re using Firefox+TabMixPlus and the new edition of GMail (which is now available also for Google-Apps users) you must have noticed that Gmail stops functioning entirely after downloading an attachment. Hitting back doesn’t resolve this, so you must reload GMail entirely.

To avoid this:
1) In FireFox - click on “Tools”
2) choose “Tab Mix Plus options”
3) “Links” should open by default, select it if not
4) Click on “Edit…” next to “Prevent blank tabs when downloading files”
5) Remove the line “/disp=attd&view=att/” from the list
