Requesting <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/fontinfo/>
and getting <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fontinfo/>,
I right-click on the gray Download Now button, I get the same pull-down
context menu that I get when right-clicking on the sentence above it.

Left-clicking on the gray Download Now button does nothing: no pull-down
context menu, NOTHING.

As I wrote earlier, the gray Download Now button is NOT a link.

At <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/222517/>, however,
I do indeed get what you get.  There, the gray Download Now button is a
link.
