Description
p5.js version
v1.4.1
What is your operating system?
Mac OS
Web browser and version
FF 117.0 (64-bit)
Actual Behavior
A sketch (opened in only one tab) cannot be saved bc of incorrect error claiming multiple windows/saves. The only option is to refresh the page, potentially losing work.
I've seen this multiple times though I don't have a consistent way of recreating it as yet.
Expected Behavior
Should be allowed to save sketch
Steps to reproduce
Don't have reproducible steps as yet

Research direction
Start by investigating the Web Editor save flow and attempting to reproduce the false multiple-windows error in Firefox on macOS with p5.js v1.4.1. The issue has no reproducible steps, so document a reliable trigger if found and verify that a sketch opened in one tab can be saved without requiring a refresh or losing work.
