Description
When a file download is specified via the `Content-Disposition` header, that directive would be ignored if the file was included via a `<embed>` or `<object>` tag, potentially making a website vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 140, Firefox ESR 128.12, Thunderbird 140, and Thunderbird 128.12.
