Some websites, in order to get people to register with them, only offer "time delayed download links", i.e. upon trying to download a file, there is a waiting period of, say, 1 minute, then the link gets activated and you can download.

With the latest Firefox release (64.0.2) on an Android 5 tablet the download link stays unactivated, even after the waiting time is over. Firefox was downloaded from the play store and updated accordingly.

With the same device and the latest release of Chrome the links DO become activated after the waiting time is over.

Hence there is a problem with Firefox, isn't it?

Hi

So that we can look into this further here, do you have an example of a site where this happens?
