So, if I download a purchased PDF from DTRPG, and then download it from that site's Library, a pop-up browser window appears. This window informs me that my download will happen shortly, however, the download is usually finished by the time the Pop-up window appears.

When finished downloading, I have to close this pop-up window, before I close the main browser window. If I don't, MS Edge browser will "forget" or otherwise close all my open browser tabs, and not re-launch them the next time I open the browser.

My workaround is to close the pop-up window, before closing the main browser window. That way, the open tabs are remembered next time the browser is launched.
That has worked for a while. However, recently, as soon as I close the pop-up window, another identical pop-up window appears behind the main browser window.

Because it happens in the background, behind the main browser window, I don't notice it happening, causing me to assume that it would be okay to close the main browser window. Well, the unnoticed Pop-up window causes all my browser tabs to be lost, so it is most aggravating.

I have tried the same actions on Vivaldi browser, and I have had no problems. There is no pop-up in Vivaldi. So why this issue on Edge?
