unable to unlock to download.png
I can’t download the files from some sites.
The checkbox "Block dangerous ... content" in the settings is set to "OFF". The firefox 82.0.0.7560 blocks the file and does not provide an option to unblock it (see screenshot).
For example, I can`t download the file from this link: https://uploadrar.com/4hc1dbsdh5pw
With the firefox 80.0.1 I have no problems (even no need to unlock the file manually).

???? Status: UNCONFIRMED → RESOLVED ???
what does "RESOLVED" mean?
When the flag "Block dangerous ... content" is cleared, the FF shouldn't block the download at all, but it still blocks it.

This is a duplicate of bug 1660969. This is a Nightly only feature that blocks downloads over an insecure connection, aka HTTP instead of HTTPS. It doesn't really have anything to do with the dangerous content, which is actually about the file you downloaded. Anyway bug 1660969 is going to add a button to retry the download.

Now everything is clear to me.
Thanks for the clarification.

One more a little question:
is it possible to disable the blocking downloads over an insecure connection by changing the parameter (which one?) in the about:config ?

(In reply to kramola from comment #5)

Based on the patch that added this behavior[1], it looks like dom.block_download_insecure is the preference that's involved here. If you set that to false at about:config, it should work around this issue for you.
