Enable download via Firefox and Safaria again about webclient HOT 2 OPEN

Hello,

We are enforcing the use of MEGAsync when we do detect beforehand the download won't be reliably through the browser, thus making such checkbox un-selectable.

Under Firefox we do have to handle downloads through an in-memory buffer due our E2EE, which unfortunately limits the amount of data we can keep going, currently that's 1GB of data for the 32-bits version of the browser, and 2GB for the 64-bits version.

While we could increase such limits, it is very likely the downloads won't complete and fail with an out of memory error, we have actually had several reports of that kind in the past.

However, for any brave users out there, this limit can be overcome by opening the web-console and entering the following command localStorage.dlFileSizeLimit = <limit>, it may or may doesn't work on a per-user basis, and please bear in mind that by using that we cannot be responsible for any wasted bandwidth as result of any error thrown while using it.

Thanks, and sorry i cannot be of more help.

Maybe I don't understand the issue, I'm not a developer of any sort. I can go to other websites and download multi gigabyte single files. Is there some limitation or reason Mega can't? Not to compare other services as well, but if there is some way encryption or other security features prevent this, Proton drive does not seem to have any issues.
