#17933: Recent Tor Browser isolates the pdf 'download' outcome from the current tab

I've logged in to the pets reviewing website, and I clicked on a pdf, and
the pdf.js is showing me the pdf. Then I click on the 'download' link
inside the pdf viewer, which in the past caused a pdf to end up on my
disk. Now it causes an html file, essentially saying that I wasn't logged
in, to end up on my disk instead.
I managed to work around it by "right click, save page as", which does
what the download button used to do. But not sending any of the current
credentials/cookies/etc to whatever is doing the download is pretty
surprising.
