Programmatical click on -tag not working in Firefox

by

In Firefox, you can explicitly add the created element to the DOM and it will work:

$('body').on('click', '#test', function(event) {
    var link = document.createElement('a');
    // Add the element to the DOM
    link.setAttribute("type", "hidden"); // make it hidden if needed
    link.download = 'test.xls';
    link.href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32225904/data:application/vnd.ms-excel;utf-8,test";
    document.body.appendChild(link);
    link.click();
    link.remove();
});

Fiddle
