This is a reproduce-able problem as noted and does not manifest with other browsers. I have not made any changes to PM other than to faithfully take auto-updates when they happen but this problem has been evident for several weeks now, and possibly over more than 2 recent updates. The manual download link is also active and click-able. I also tested this theory with MS Edge, and Google Chrome with no problems.

In comparison, I downloaded Vivaldi (Chrome) and this browser has no problem downloading or clicking anything. There is also a manual download link offered (https) if the automated download fails or does not initiate but when you hover the mouse pointed over it, it is not active. When the download link is clicked, there is a long pause and then the web site acknowledges you and says Thank you for downloading, but nothing has happened. Recent versions of PM no longer are capable of taking a download from this site. For example, updates to Adobe products takes you to Adobe's download page. The site offers a link to download specific software they have either archived on their servers, or a link to the download page or program at the author's site. Recent versions of PM are incapable of downloading software from this site.

I often use the FileHippo web site ( to keep up with current versions of software, including PM.
