On attempt to download a file from Macintosh Repository via Mozilla (may be not only), the "Download via HTTP" button does nothing. There is a mistake in web page code, which results in a JavaScript error:
Looking to HTML, and yes, it have extra quote character in onsubmit event handler:
<!-- "Error: missing ) after argument list" --><formid="d_form1" action="https://www.macintoshrepository.org/download.php?id=24961&go=1" onsubmit="return confirm('You understand that this software dates back to 1994 so it probably won't run on current hardware without an emulator. Continue?');" method="POST">
Okay, this can be fixed by a HTTP Edit set:
[Edit:macintoshrepository.org]AddFind=it probably won't run on currentAddReplace=it probably will not run on current
Now a dialogue appears on button click, and then the download begins.
Interesting, that modern browsers correctly (incorrectly? :) ) processing the extra quote, and the form is submitting, so anti-bot protection worked as intended by site admins.
