User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:81.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/81.0

Steps to reproduce:

Opened a page with an iframe embedded PDF (such as https://pdfobject.com/static/) in Firefox 81.0b4 and and received a prompt to download the PDF rather than see it embedded. This does not occur in Firefox 80.

Actual results:

Received prompt to download a PDF file while the iframe that was supposed to embed it remain a white box.

Expected results:

The PDF should have been embedded in the iframe without getting an automatic download prompt.
