Details

Steps to reproduce:

Attempt to download image from a site that requires the Referer header to be set appropriately - an example is images hosted on https://pixiv.net/ (CDN at https://i.pximg.net)

This will fail like this both on 116 and 118

Actual results:

The browser correctly sends the Referer header when the image is viewed on the page or opened in a new tab but drops it completely when "Save image" is used.
This causes the download to fail, despite the image both being in the cache and the tab's requests having the Referer set.

Expected results:

Ideally, Referer is set for "Save image"'s request (or the cached image is saved, like what I assume happens on desktop) and the download succeeds~
