Cypress gets stuck waiting for page load event after being redirected to a PDF file

URL of Issue(s)

no link, sorry

Steps to replicate

It is really hard for me to provide steps to replicate because I'm trying to interact with my bank's website to automate downloading of statements.

I've gotten it to the point where it loads and renders a PDF (in Firefox, Electron won't render). The URL of the page does not end in a .pdf, but still Firefox displays a rendered PDF using its built-in PDF reader.

I'd like to download this PDF, but (a) I don't know how, (b) after Cypress gets to the point of displaying the PDF, it refuses to run any additional commands because it's waiting on a load event that never comes and then it times out:

Any suggestions?

Browser

Firefox 118.0.1

Figured out how to do this: cypress-io/cypress#1551 (comment)

Also sorry for opening this issue in the wrong repo.
