How to handle firefox download pop up in Selenium Webdriver?

Hi, I am trying to disable Firefox download dialog through firefox profile so that it does not prompts for file download . Below is the code snippet : FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile(); profile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList",2); profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",false); profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", "C:\\HM Download" ); profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/pdf"); driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile); But it is not working. Download dialog still shows up Please provide me a genuine solution
