Bug Description
And potentially any Content Hub file?
When trying to open pdfs in the fastmail or reddit webapps, I get the following and the pdf never opens:
file://
file://
I'm assuming it's the second message that is fatal, so I've opened against webbrowser-app.

Yeah, digging a little more, neither the startDownload signal or function exists. Looks like code copied and pasted from Browser.qml. But webapps don't need the same download support (they just care about exporting to a ContentHub peer rather than internally downloading).
I tried to hack a fix together, but I couldn't make it work. I don't know ContentHub very well.
