Steps to reproduce:
I'm not exactly sure. I am unable to download a file using "Download Linked File" from my developer page on https://addons.mozilla.org. I can "Download Linked File As" just fine. I have two versions of an extension on the developer page; neither work.

I can download other files just fine, for example I uploaded the same file to the extension's GitHub repo, and I can download it from there.

Expected behavior:
"Download Linked File" works

Orion and macOS:
Orion Version 0.99.108.1.2-beta (WebKit 613.1.12)
macOS 12.0.1 (21A559)

Also tested on Version 0.99.109-beta (WebKit 613.1.12)

Compatibility mode on.

Because this was so strange, I created a new user on my laptop to test with a fresh install. Same issue with those files on the developer page.

    Cannabat More information would be useful as this is not trivial to reproduce (requires dev account with an extension)

      Vlad More troubleshooting:

      Issue occurs in these situations:
      -copy the a href html and insert it as a direct descendent of document.body on pages on the same domain (https://addons.mozilla.org - have tried 3 different pages)

      • If I replace the href with link to the same file, but hosted on GitHub 🧐

      Issue doesn't occur:

      • on Safari
      • if I copy the problematic a href html and insert into to a page on a different domain (e.g. GitHub) in the same way

      So I suppose something related to the domain itself is the problem.

      Can you/somebody please try adding this HTML to https://addons.mozilla.org and see if you can Download Linked File (not As):
