tab crashes on opening pdf (in new tab), but not when right-click-opening in new tab
This one is puzzling to me: On a website with login, whenever I click on an link to a pdf, a new tab opens (my normal setting) and immediately crashes (not my normal setting ;)). However, everything is fine elsewhere on the web, even on the same site in the sections without login. Here are some observations that may or may not be connected to this:
- If I right-click and open in new tab/window/download, everything is fine
- When I return to the tab where I clicked the link, the page reloads - independent of whether I did anything in the crashed tab
- the site-admins were not able to reproduce the problem, also it seems fine for other users
- the problem persists in troubleshooting mode, also manually disabeling extension did nothing, emptying cache etc. also nothing.
It is not like this is making me switch browsers (although no crashes in edge), but it bothers me to have no idea why this is happening. :) Maybe someone here feels the same? Thank you for reading either way!
