There is no reason that the link should not be visible in any browser. Its a simple text.
I'm also using Firefox and its visible.
If you are using ad blocking software or extension, then it may be possible, its blocking the download link for no reason?
May be your Firefox installation got corrupted. Try to start Firefox in Safe mode by selecting "Firefox (Safe Mode)" from Programs menu.

I want to only present a box of "links" to users. THANKS!
