You are using Mozilla Firefox on Windows Vista and the page you get, based on support.mozilla.org, is an
Unwanted Software: "
Unwanted Software sites are websites that try to trick you into installing programs that harm your browsing experience (for example, by changing your homepage or showing extra ads on sites you visit)."
Not to be confused with, based on support.mozilla.org, a
Malware: "
Malware is software designed to infect your computer without your knowledge. Malware is most often used to steal personal information, send junk email (spam), or spread more malware."

With your print screen we have all the answers:
Who: Firefox Forgery and Attack Protection
What: Google Safe Browsing for Firefox
This is where you can find the Google Safe Browsing built-in feature into your Firefox:
Yup, as you probably know Google Safe Browsing is a part of Mozilla Firefox and about twice per hour, Firefox downloads Google's Safe Browsing lists to help block access to sites and downloads that are malicious or forged, then Firefox blocks the file immediately, otherwise it asks Google's Safe Browsing service if the software is safe by sending it some of the download's metadata, and it's what happened to you because something is wrong in the url link of your browser that we can see in your print screen.
Explanation of your problem:Bad: The current directory of your url of dropjiffy.com is wrong because it's
/download/->Look at the url of your print screen:
http://67.media.tumblr.com/7d5bdc1b8f83d32b8e66adc968cd4190/tumblr_ocxzttNHs1...Good: The normal current directory of dropjiffy.com is good because it's /f/

https://www.dropjiffy.com/f/NCZ5JJFT note the current directory is /f/ and not /download/
Hopefully what you get with Google Safe Browsing for Firefox is also checkable on the web:

Joe I don't know how you get this weird url in your browser but as you can see it's clearly not the link I posted to download the video of the France 3 Alsace's coverage of the CDM 2016, from everywhere including Google Safe browsing everything is still safe, except your link, so I'm worried first about your browser cause it looks like you were redirected or maybe it's your computer that is compromised, but I remember something you said before:

After that I hope you fixed your comp/OS/browsers the right way Joe?!
