Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to download a benchmark from https://benchmark.unigine.com/heaven

Actual results:

Upon selecting the windows direct download version and clicking download nothing happens. I tried disabling enhanced protection and also tried to download in safe mode, where addons and other changes to the browser are disabled.

Expected results:

It should've just downloaded the file. There is nothing wrong with the website or their servers. I tried downloading the file on Internet Explorer 11 and it worked flawlessly.

GET https://assets.unigine.com/d/Unigine_Heaven-4.0.exe
[HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily 180ms]

GET http://m11-assets.unigine.com/d/Unigine_Heaven-4.0.exe
[HTTP/1.1 200 OK 140ms]

Blocked downloading insecure content “http://m11-assets.unigine.com/d/Unigine_Heaven-4.0.exe”. Unigine_Heaven-4.0.exe

HTTPS site redirects to HTTP download; blocking this is a feature introduced in bug 1614969. There's bug 1303739 for adding a visual indicator when the block occurs. You can see the destination link in the Browser Console and paste that directly into the address bar to download it.

:sstreich Please double-check that the resolution and comment 1 are correct. Bug 1614969 appears to be gathering a slew of regressions that are similar and would be addressed with a visual indicator as well.

All correct. Thanks for handling this ! :)
