Opening somebody else's profile picture in a new tab results in a download

Right clicking on somebody else's profile picture, then selecting "open in new tab", results in a new tab opening, but with a download beginning instead of displaying the image inside that tab. For instance, the URL to Mithical's profile picture in the newly opened tab, is https://s3.amazonaws.com/storage.codidact.com/jhf4hhxzgspj0qrw7db8u9guxkx0.

Opening one's own profile picture in a new tab, however, displays the image as expected. That also applies to users without custom profile pictures, for instance meta user, whose profile picture URL is simply the same as their profile page URL, with the image appended: https://meta.codidact.com/users/65178/avatar/48.png.
