I have simple above download link html5 code it's not working in mozila and working fine in chrome

The browser is called Firefox (and is made by Mozilla, not Mozila). Chrome is not called Google. Internet Explorer is not called Microsoft. Edge is also not called Microsoft. — Quentin, Feb 06 '18 at 11:32

please don't use website url in href tag

 wrong (https://example.com/folder name/filename.pdf )

right (../folder name/file name.pdf)

In that it makes absolutely no difference whether you use an absolute or a relative URL ... – CBroe Feb 06 '18 at 12:12
first check then i will accept it ! it is nonsense – Narendra Soni Feb 06 '18 at 12:14
I you are of the opinion that it would make any difference whatsoever whether a relative or an absolute URL was used - then please create a proper [mcve] somewhere that actually shows this live. – CBroe Feb 06 '18 at 12:17
thanks for giving comment. but files are stored on S3 server so that's the region I need to mention absolute URL. – Balaji Damodare Feb 06 '18 at 12:19

@CBroe nitpicking but in this exact case that would actually make an huge difference since what OP is experiencing is a cross-origin restriction. A relative URL wouldn't suffer from this restriction. (looking for some dupe...) – Kaiido Feb 06 '18 at 12:30

@Kaiido good point, cross-origin makes the difference here. But that still doesn’t make this a good answer, because it does not mention cross-origin as the reason, but just sounds as if there was a general difference between relative and absolute URLs. – CBroe Feb 06 '18 at 12:38
@Kaiido https://stackoverflow.com/q/28318017/1427878 seems like an appropriate duplicate, I think. – CBroe Feb 06 '18 at 12:39
@CBroe yep, already closed ;-) – Kaiido Feb 06 '18 at 12:39
