We have an electronic document management system in our company. The system is an internal system without access to the LAN. Firefox detects files downloaded from it as potentially dangerous after the last update. Is there a way to prevent files from this website from being detected as potentially dangerous?

Is it being sent over HTTP? Try to turn off dom.block_download_insecure preference.

You can work around it by changing dom.block_download_insecure to false in about:config then restart the browser.
