Direct HTTP link to a Firefox extension doesn't redirect correctly if EASE is enabled #18212

Description

@kidhanis

Type: code issue

This might be related to #17774.
I've tested with HTTPS Everywhere version 2019.6.27 and the latest Beta and Nightly versions of Firefox.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Enable EASE.
  2. Find an HTTPS URL to an .xpi file, change it to HTTP, and visit the modified URL. For example, try clicking on http://www.eff.org/files/https-everywhere-2019.6.27-eff.xpi.

Expected results:

The browser prompts the user to download and to install the extension.

Actual results:

The page gets redirected to the moz-extension:// blocking page and the .xpi file cannot be downloaded.
