[Pixeldrain.com] The download buttons seem to no longer work

At this point it's not really worth the effort for me.

Did you even bother trying the official website?
You know, the one that offers a self contained tarball with no system dependencies that will run on any Linux flavor?

Yes, I tried both the gtk2 and gtk3 releases from the website. I don't want to go on a dependency hunt, that's what I have Flatpak for.

that's what I have Flatpak for.

Unfortunately, the dependencies impose a licensing conflict when published as a flatpak, snap, or other single-package distribution. The GPL is nasty like that, and we won't (and can't) release Pale Moon under the GPL to satisfy bundling into a larger work.

Aside from that though, I do hope you're willing to make the necessary changes to pixeldrain to make downloads function. There are many different ways to make this work browser-agnosticly (including just making the clickable element be an anchor with the download attribute directly, without the need for any JS), and the simplest for your current setup would likely be to just add the <a> as a childNode before firing a simulated click on it. Alternatively, use dispatchEvent() to circumvent DOM context requirements instead of issuing click() directly.

As an aside, I have been working on making this work in UXP in the meantime, because people do seem to fall into the copypasta trap now of using quirks in this case (especially with AI regurgitating code). See Issue #2721 (UXP). It is and remains an exception specifically for <A>, because that is the bug-that-became-standard. It's ugly, I don't like it, but it is what it is.
