Allowing downloads or popups

Hi yet again!

I just noticed that creating popups/opening links in new tabs (i.e. <a href="https://google.com" target="_blank" />) does not work anymore with add-ons (the tab opens, but they get blocked). It is crucial for my add-on to be able to download pdf files, which is not possible considering the current iframe sandbox configuration. Is there any way around this? Thank you so much!

Hello!

Thank you for the report.
We’ll resolve this in the next few days.

This should be live. Can you confirm @mittlus whether it works for you?

I just tested the it and the download functionality finally works! Thank you very much for fixing this, I’ve been looking forward to allowing direct downloads in my add-on! Blank new tabs are still being blocked for some reason, I’m not sure if any special crossorigin values have to be added to a tags, but I will look further into it as soon as I find the time.
