Firefox blocks downloads


















As illustrated in the Figure above, if Firefox detects such an insecure download, it will initially block the download and prompt you signalling the Potential security risk. The Inline Frame sandbox attribute is the preferred way to lock down capabilities of embedded third-party content.

Currently, even with the sandbox attribute set, malicious content could initiate a drive-by download, prompting the user to download malicious files. Put differently, downloads initiated from sandboxed contexts without this attribute will be canceled silently in the background without any user browsing disruption. As a Firefox user, you can benefit from the additionally provided security mechanism as soon as your Firefox auto-updates to version Yes and no. If the former is enabled, an http connection to a 3rd-party server will attempt to connect via https, but if it fails AND the latter is disabled, there will be no return to http.

A long time mistake which missed being corrected reason, not excuse! Mixing part has been cleared in your last comment, I misunderstood it for something else previously, my mistake.

Yeah I also used EASE mode in https everywhere and switched to https-only mode when it first came out. Then I went on to see some other prefs who can cover atleast some functionality, which were these three prefs, the site you mentioned load perfectly, so I thought okay new settings for now. Instead of block pref being turned on, how about switch upgrade pref, leave block to default, and see if problem remains the same.

Tried different scenarios and none worked. Looking back at it I was naive, as in the browserleaks test http content gets blocked, hence url remains https irrespective of results. Now back to EASE mode with a bit of nostalgia. Depending on the capabilities of the streaming server and the associated client — in your case jPlayer , streaming audio is in principle be transmitted via the common HTTP protocol.

Known as HTTP Streaming, a push-style data transfer technique that allows a web server to continuously send data to a client over a single HTTP connection that remains open indefinitely. Technically, this goes against HTTP convention, but HTTP Streaming is an efficient method to transfer all kinds of dynamic or otherwise streamable data between the server and client.

The Proxy link enables listeners to tune-in even if they use firewalls that may block listening to Online Radio streams. Your comment is very technical. No point in flipping the pref security.

Because of this muddled nonsense, I could not resist and dared to point out possible other causes as well: … streaming server offline … the webmaster has inserted the streaming URL sloppily and incorrectly … ports blocked … services at OS level disabled and so on. No leadership battle! Be repeated again in case you would have missed it :. Maybe a drawing would have helped. It means: Fair Play. Will Microsoft take note of that I wonder? After all, all downloads from the Microsoft Catalog Site take place over an insecure link.

Good thing I use IDM for my downloads. They are not my parents? No wonder Firefox is loosing clients left and right. Mozilla is letting users know about a potential issue and treating them like adults by giving them the choice to still download the file if they want.

Apart from that, it speaks volumes about the Firefox community when people see them hating on fellow privacy projects. You guys hate Brave much more than you do Chrome and Edge, browsers that actually violate user privacy. Thank you for revealing the true face of the FF community here. If a download of yours triggers a warning in the first place, there usually is something more to the story.

One can make conscious exceptions already, no point in lowering security standards even further by disabling the warning! You are implying I am a racist. I am not, and your implication is offensive. You sound like one of those racist bigots who is trying to deflect their shame. I mentioned nothing about power and control. I actually gave up my powerful management job to work for a non-profit charity that feeds the homeless. Firefox is excellent for the average user as well as power users.

I am a single user. I do not represent the Firefox community nor Mozilla. But it is a well-documented behavior of racists to view the acts of a single individual as representative an entire community. You attacked me with your hostile words which gHacks was willing to publish , and I never even thought of mentioning or referencing you or anyone else in any way in my post. Again, I am a single user. I do not represent the Firefox community. But, regarding your comments, it is common for a racist to view the world as unified groups of people who hate each other.

You would likely benefit from some quality therapy that could help you get out of your hate-filled world. Life is much simpler and honest when you stop hating others and stop blaming others for your hate. Firefox is an excellent project developed by an organization trying to foster equality.

This clearly angers him so much that he has literally spent hours of his time writing hundreds of rants on gHacks and elsewhere. Nothing new to say, and no signs of growth. I do understand, however, why he spends so much time posting his rants here on gHacks. He has explained that he has been banned for inappropriate conduct on other sites although people like that rarely have much insight into why their conduct is inappropriate.

That speaks volumes on its own. Your original post reads like a troll reply, because it is one. Any further allegation of me being a troll coming from you of all people will thus be discarded.

Your kitchen psychology is failing you here. There is no indication of racism in any of my posts. You are hating on fellow privacy project. Is that in the best interest of users? What you do only makes sense if you are a fanboy with an agenda, sprung from a toxic community fighting for its relevance. Choose one. And considering your original troll post, I have no reason to put words in your mouth.

Then why are you drones so exchangeable? Your hate always goes in the same direction, your non-arguments are also the same. If you want to be seen as not being a drone, try something more original. Your original post was filled with trolling and was bait.

People are not blind, your post is still there, one can read it. To diagnose whether Internet security software is causing problems, you can try temporarily disabling it, seeing if downloads work, and then re-enabling the software.

Downloading an executable file e. This happens because Firefox honors your Windows security settings for downloading applications and other potentially unsafe files from the Internet.
