Last time I've checked you couldn't even download the firmware for WD 850X using a plain browser. You had to use their "special" Windows software.

There's a github project that helps with this https://github.com/not-a-feature/wd_fw_update , or you can manually browse https://sddashboarddownloads.sandisk.com/wdDashboard/config/... to find and download your firmware, and install it with nvme-cli. I've done it quite a few times.
