I download a file. It stops and speaks of a security risk. The website is https, but the file is http. Is there a location I can pre-approve all files from the url to override the objection? Thanks.

Chosen solution

You could temporarily disable the insecure HTTP download block globally by going to about:config in the address bar and changing dom.block_download_insecure to false.
