- 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](https://meta.codidact.com/users/65178)_, 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`.

- Same behaviour in Safari on MacOS, and Firefox on Linux.
