Bug 1668412 Comment 0 Edit History

Note: The actual edited comment in the bug view page will always show the original commenter’s name and original timestamp.

STR:
 (1) Go to `about:preferences`, search for PDF, and change action to "Always Ask"
 (2) Visit https://zephyronline.com/product/monsoon-i-range-hood-insert/
 (3) Scroll down and select the "SPECIFICATIONS AND DOCUMENTS" tab (~halfway down the page)
 (4) Click "Hood User Manual" (or any of the entries alongside it)

EXPECTED RESULTS:
I should be able to view or save the PDF that I'm trying to download. (I told Firefox to "Always Ask" me how to handle PDFs.)
Even though it's mixed-content, we should expose a way for me to click through & proceed with the download. The web as-it-exists depends on us allowing this (perhaps with a warning, sure, but not a full block).

ACTUAL RESULTS:
- The first time I perform STR: A new tab opens, and a doorhanger notification appears below the download toolbar-icon telling me "This file could not be downloaded securely".  It's not obvious that there's any option I could take to actually download the file (no click-through, etc).
- If I go back to the original tab and click the "Hood User Manual" link (or another PDF link) again, then: A new tab opens, and the Download "shrinking arrow" animation plays, and **that's it**. No doorhanger, no notification that something went wrong -- just silent failure.


Notes:
* mozregression turned up bug 1614969 as the first commit that didn't prompt me to open-or-download the file:
https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/autoland/pushloghtml?fromchange=2c022fc5b638633885787aa94f1e46a7e6713956&tochange=2b1b3a41c110c7480f299e97b5e13e15dbcff9bf

* I think bug 1656296 is where we added the "This file could not be downloaded securely" message & UI.

(Alternately: click the link in the attached testcase, instead of steps 2-4.)
