Additional context

this is how i am launching the browser def create_browser(self):
"""
Creates a browser instance for Chrome using Playwright.
"""
try:
self.browser = self.playwright.chromium.launch(
channel= 'chrome',
headless = False,
slow_mo = 1000,

            args = self.get_browser_args()
        )

    except Exception as exception:
        raise Exception(f'Unable to launch Chrome browser for testing. Exception noted: {exception}')
    return self.browser

def get_browser_args(self):
    """
    Returns all the required arguments for launching the browser.
    """
    args = [
        "--test-type",
        "--disable-extensions",
        "--proxy-server='direct://'",
        "--proxy-bypass-list=*",
        '--ignore-certificate-errors',
        "--no-sandbox",
        "--disable-dev-shm-usage",
        "--disable-browser-side-navigation",
        "--disable-web-security",
        "--disable-infobars",
        "--disable-popup-blocking",
        "--disable-features=VizDisplayCompositor",
        "--disable-gpu",

        '--disable-features=IsolateOrigins,site-per-process',
        '--disable-site-isolation-trials'
    ]

also for download using this code def download_file(self, timeout_seconds):
"""
Waits for a download to complete within the specified timeout.

    :param timeout_seconds: Maximum time to wait for the download to complete.
    :return: The download object or None if download fails.
    """
    try:
        # Wait for the download event
        download = self._page.wait_for_event('download', timeout=timeout_seconds * 1000)
        return download
    except PlaywrightTimeoutError:
        # Handle timeout exceptions when the download does not occur within the expected time
        assert_verify.verify_fail(f"Download did not complete within {timeout_seconds} seconds.")
        return None        

def file_download_implementation():
if dimension_type is not None and file_extension is not None:
self.get_element('Common_Report_Btn', *[dimension_type, dimension_type]).click_element()
elif dimension_type is None and link is not None:
self.get_element('Common_link', link).click_element()
else:
file_extension=dimension_type
self.get_element('Export_Btn').click_element()

    # Wait for the download to complete
    filedownload_waiting_time = ExecutionManager.filedownload_waiting_time
    download = self.download_file(timeout_seconds=filedownload_waiting_time)

    if download:
        # Get the suggested filename and save it to the custom folder
        last_modified_file_name = download.suggested_filename
        download_path = os.path.join(folder_path, last_modified_file_name)
        download.save_as(download_path)

Its working fine on mozilla browser

@surbhiD When you call download.save_as(download_path), the downloaded file should be saved at the path you've specified. However, that path is not connected to the browser UI in any means, so clicking in the UI will not open it.

If you think that download.save_as(download_path) did not work as expected, please provide a full self-contained repro so that we can reproduce locally and fix the bug.
