Enable the download button for incompatible clients (link to extension source)

See original GitHub issue

Following on from: https://github.com/mozilla/addons/issues/703

We should look to leave the “install” button enabled for incompatible clients so that users that user privacy.resistFingerprinting set to true can still install add-ons.

We’ll need to figure out the correct wording in this case as well as make sure the JS API falls-back to the add-on link gracefully for incompatible UAs.

I guess the question was more about the other part:

I don’t expect that a “Download file” link triggers an installation, I expect it to trigger a download of the file.
