Change the UserAgent to Firefox 54 or newer.

I don't think is the user agent.

Come on, mine is K-meleon 75, and Identify myself as K-meleon (not compatible mode) and works perfectly without tweaking anything :-?

I only have to enable JS :-?

And that setting is true by default, Siria, otherwise... I can't think of the threats confused smiley

Well, I tested before and did a test now before answering to your reply.
Same result, as soon as I change my UA from default to a newer Firefox one, the window with the "DownloadZIP" shows up.
Tested with KM76RC on Win7.
Of course, scripting and cookies have to be enabled.

Yes, this is UA-thing.

BUT! It works in very unusual (almost crazy!) way: it blocks only outdated FF-useragents while it allows MSIE 11, Opera 12 and own K-Meleon 76 (or 75 or I think even 1.6!) useragents.
Firefox 52 works fine too.

So just switch off Tools - Useragent Mode - Firefox compatible - and Voila!


UPD.: even Firefox 45 works!
