How to prevent Firefox from blocking websites and downloads
Although Google Chrome is now the most popular desktop web browser, it has many drawbacks. If you are a Google Chrome user, you may know that it consumes more system resources than any other browser. The same is true for other Chromium-based web browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Brave, etc.
Thus, if you want to maintain the performance of your computer while running a web browser, you need to start using non-chrome-based web browsers like Firefox. Firefox is not as popular as Chrome; it is still used by many users. Compared to Chrome, Firefox uses fewer system resources to run smoothly on your system.
If you are already using the Firefox browser, you may know that the web browser has a security feature that automatically blocks unsafe websites and downloads. The latest version of Firefox has a security feature that prevents malicious or suspicious websites from installing programs or add-ons on your computer.
Although it is a great security feature, sometimes it blocks websites that we already want to see and is safe. The same goes for downloads as well.
So, if you can't download files to your computer due to Firefox's strong security features, you need to make some changes to your web browser.
