 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.
