When doing an insecure download I get a prompt for the location to save it, after saving the download fails to start as expected. After clicking "Allow Download" in Download Details dialog the download is saved to the default download location instead of the location that I chose.

Sebastian, could you please check if this is related to the mixed content changes made to the downloads panel?

It's even worse for me. It saves every such allegedly insecure download I allow in the Windows temp folder. It does not respect any of my download location choices -- regardless of whether I have "Always ask you where to save files" selected or not.

This functionality is nightly-only right now, but this bug should probably block that changing...
