[Note]:
- Issue found on the Nightly try build from:
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/try-builds/[e-mail]-68763a0d343f41ad9370f145abacf55068334806/

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0 Build ID:20160210105908

[Affected versions]:

[Steps to reproduce]:
1. On Windows 8.1 log in as an ADMIN and create a LOCAL Child Account
2. Install the Nightly try build 
3. Go to: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Family Safety\User Settings\Web Filtering\Web Restrictions
4. Check the Block file downloads  box.
5. Switch to your CHILD account
6. Launch the installed try build from step 2 and make sure the preference "security.family_safety.mode" exists and is set to 2 (add it if is not).
7. Go to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and download the latest Firefox version.

[Expected result]:
The download should be blocked and we should receive a warning announcing that the download is blocked.

The download is blocked but there is no visual warning about that.

[Regression range]:
Not a regression.

[Additional notes]:
In Internet Explorer 11 a "Family Safety has blocked this download" warning dialog is received.

PSM isn't the appropriate component for this.

Hi David, would this be too difficult to fix for Fx50 time frame? While this may seem minor from a usability point of view, it seems like a good bug to fix. Not knowing why the download was blocked is a usability issue.

This would require input and design from Firefox front-end, so I'm probably not the right person to ask about implementing this.

I don't have resources for this.
