Description
The LinkHints.activateModeToDownloadLink command doesn't seem to be working on Firefox (it either does nothing or does the same as LinkHints.activateMode). Is this a case of a missing API, like the clipboard issue with FF?

Reproduce the issue in Firefox using LinkHints.activateModeToDownloadLink, then compare its behavior with LinkHints.activateMode.

Done means the command reliably downloads the selected link in Firefox.
