ACM and IEEE PDF downloads not working via proxy

I'm running into problems downloading PDFs from both IEEE and ACM DL--but not from other sites (Science Direct, JSTOR, Sage, etc)--using my university's proxy, Firefox for Mac v87.0, and the Firefox addon with updated translators.

In both databases, the citation saves properly to my Zotero library, and the PDF appears in the save popup, but there's a red X indicating that the PDF could not be saved. (I can manually select the PDF button on the page to download it, and have been doing that as a workaround.)

Example URLs:
https://ieeexplore-ieee-org.ezproxy.rit.edu/abstract/document/8811931
https://dl-acm-org.ezproxy.rit.edu/doi/abs/10.1109/ICSE.2019.00122

The debug log for the ACM article is too long to include in this message, but it can be found here: https://pastebin.com/h1nsBrDs
