Details about the bug:

Note: the links do both work on Safari on iPad. The issue is just with chrome and firefox on iPad.

I include two links because the one hosted from Ohio State does not use the web editor. So this seems to be something with p5.js itself.

I tried to tinker with the chrome and firefox settings on the iPad to unblock the pop up blocker for chrome and firefox but that didn't fix it. I also tried to change the safe browsing settings to see if that helped but it didn't.

Research direction

Reproduce saveTable with the Ohio State page and p5.js Web Editor sketch on iPadOS 15.0.2 in Safari, Chrome 92, and Firefox 39, then trace the p5.js saveTable path responsible for the CSV download. Done means the test.csv file downloads in Chrome and Firefox on iPad without regressing Safari or other operating systems.
