Re: Vim nightly download for Windows 64 in Firefox reports "Deceptive Site" and marked as being dangerous

Tony,
I don't think this is a Firefox bug. I downloaded Vim v8.0.0765 two days ago, and now this version also reports "Deceptive Site". Most probably definitions for "evil" web pages have been silently updated. On my PC default Firefox settings are: Tools | Options | Security tab and have all three enabled:
- Block dangerous and deceptive content
- Block dangerous downloads
- Warn you about unwanted and uncommon software
If I disable all of them the "Deceptive Site" message goes away.

In my humble opinion somehow Vim's download site github-production-release-asset-2e65be.s3.amazonaws.com got on the blacklist.

It is interesting according to your words Firefox Nightly (I haven't tested) is working fine.
