Certain sites (the latest being https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/, which i've downloaded successfully from before) cannot be downloaded from - firefox gives the error of "[site] attempted to automatically download multiple files. The site could be broken or trying to store spam files on your device."

I know these downloads aren't spam or malicious, but when I hit the "Allow" button to give permission, there's no change. The downloads remain blocked and new downloads are blocked.

I've turned off my antivirus shields to see if that was causing it, but to no results.

I sincerely thank you for your time and know that you're quite busy, and look forward to hearing back about this issue.

The problem could be caused by software (such as security software) or something in your profile (such as an add-on or a setting). A quick way of testing is to create a new profile. Have you possibly set the following preference to true? If so, change it back to false because it stops redirects until you allow them. accessibility.blockautorefresh
