HTTP downloads that originate on HTTPS pages will be blocked by default users do have the option to override the blocking and to disable the security feature entirely. Chrome users may discard or keep the download, similarly to how Firefox handles these downloads. Chrome displays a notification in the download panel if a file cannot be downloaded because it originates from a HTTP server. Most Chromium-based browsers block downloads from HTTP sources if the originating page uses HTTPS. Google introduced the blocking of downloads in an insecure context earlier this year in Chrome 86. In other words: 15 in 1000 downloads will be blocked once the change lands in Firefox Stable, provided that the percentage value is about the same. Mozilla notes that about 98.5% of all downloads in Firefox Nightly use HTTPS. FALSE: to disable the security feature.TRUE: to keep the security feature enabled.
