This is no doubt because the replay_iframe which is still used in tabs for Zimit classic is sandboxed.

We can't remove the sandbox because Zimit classic archives have so many external links that can get called before wombat is fully initialized.

Let's see if this is fixed by zimit2, which no longer uses the replay_iframe.

Also affects Kiwix JS.

I'm having trouble reproducing this here now, which may be due to better link handling, or may just be that I'm not testing the right thing. Monitor.
