Currently running Discourse 3.5.0.beta1-dev ([cbe9a9f33b](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/cbe9a9f33b7a5e3552a499c9de769d9f28fe6750)).

Using the [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) and clicking the `Export` button now results in a download of a json formatted file instead of a csv file, is this a recent change? 🤔

Clicking either the `JSON` or the `CSV` buttons below the `Run` button result in a new browser tab opening for a split second then disappearing.

No download works on either button:
