Newlines are not preserved in Firefox #80

I am downloading a CSV file in Firefox. I can verify that the newlines are present in the response from my server and that the data being passed in to downloadjs is identical in all browsers, but downloading in Firefox results in corrupted CSV (no newlines) while chrome works fine.

Followup: Not sure what the issue is, but simply base64 encoding the file on the server and using download('data:text/csv;base64,... in the browser fixes it. Most likely an issue with newline encoding being treated differently by Firefox/Chrome...
