With the updated default viewer UI, a couple of the toolbarButton icons are now *vertically* symmetrical; hence we can remove some now unneeded `transform: scaleX(-1);` rules from the viewer CSS.
Note how the `onerror` functionality is not being used in the GENERIC `DownloadManager`, since we have no way of knowing if downloading succeeded.
Hence this functionality is only *possibly* useful in MOZCENTRAL builds, however as outlined in the existing comments it's unlikely to be helpful in practice. Generally speaking, if downloading failed once in [`PdfStreamConverter.jsm`](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/809ac3660845fef6faf18ec210232fdadc0f1ad9/toolkit/components/pdfjs/content/PdfStreamConverter.jsm#294-406) it seems very likely that it would fail again; all-in-all I'm thus suggesting that we just remove the `onerror` functionality altogether here.
Currently this code is duplicated no less than three times in the `web/app.js` file, and by introducing a helper method we can avoid unnecessary repetition.
There's a fair number of cases where `FirefoxCom.request`-calls are manually wrapped in a Promise to make it asynchronous. We can reduce the amount of boilerplate code in these cases by introducing a new `FirefoxCom.requestAsync` method instead.
Furthermore, a couple of `FirefoxCom.request`-calls in the `DownloadManager` are also changed to be asynchronous rather than using callback-functions.
With this patch, we're thus able to replace a lot of *direct* usages of `FirefoxCom.request` with the new `FirefoxCom.requestAsync` method instead.
*Please note:* It's highly recommended to ignore whitespace-only changes when looking at this patch.
Besides modernizing this code, by converting it to a standard class, the existing JSDoc comments are updated to actually agree better with the way that this functionality is used now. (The next patch will reduce usage of `FirefoxCom.request` significantly, hence the JSDocs for the optional `callback` is removed to not unnecessarily advertise that functionality.)
Finally, the unnecessary/unused `return` statement at the end of `FirefoxCom.request` is also removed.
This is the "modern" way of removing a node from the DOM, which has the benefit of being a lot shorter and more concise.
Also, this patch removes the `return` statement from the "pdf.js.response" event listener, since it's always `undefined`, given that none of the `callback`-functions used here ever return anything (and don't need to either). Generally speaking, returning a value from an event listener isn't normally necessary either.
This method currently accepts a callback-function, which does feel a bit old fashioned now. At the time that this code was introduced, native Promises didn't exist yet and there's a custom Promise-implementation used instead.
However, today with Promises and async/await being used *a lot* it seems reasonable to change `DefaultExternalServices.fallback` to an `async` method instead such that the callback-function can be removed.
Note how the end of the `{PDFOutlineViewer, PDFAttachmentViewer, PDFLayerViewer}.render` methods share *almost* identical code, hence we can reduce some duplication by introducing the new `BaseTreeViewer` helper method here.
Furthermore, setting `this._lastToggleIsShow` can be made ever so slightly more efficient, since we don't care about the number of ".treeItemsHidden"-classes but only want to know if at least one exists.
This follows the same principle as the `once` option that exists in the native `addEventListener` method, and will thus automatically remove an `EventBus` listener when it's invoked; see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener#Parameters
Finally, this patch also tweaks some the existing `EventBus`-code to use modern features such as optional chaining and logical assignment operators.
Given that we already have a `PresentationModeState`-enumeration, we should use that with the "presentationmodechanged" event rather than including separate properties. Note that this new behaviour, of including an enumeration-value in the event, is consistent with lots of other existing viewer-events.
To hopefully avoid issues in custom implementations of the default viewer, any attempt to access the removed properties will now throw.
Similar to e.g. the "locale" option, this in *only* done for those build-targets where the "sandboxBundleSrc" is actually defined.
With these changes we can remove an `AppOptions` dependency from the `web/generic_scripting.js` file, thus limiting *direct* `AppOptions` usage in the default viewer files.
Given that the `dispatchEventInSandbox` method (on the scripting-classes) is asynchronous, there's a very real risk that the events won't be dispatched/handled until *after* their associated functionality has actually run (with the "Will..." events being particularily susceptible to this issue).
To reduce the likelihood of that happening, we can simply `await` the `dispatchEventInSandbox` calls as necessary. A couple of methods are now marked as `async` to support these changes, however that shouldn't be a problem as far as I can tell.
*Please note:* Given that the browser "beforeprint"/"afterprint" events are *synchronous*, we unfortunately cannot await the `WillPrint`/`DidPrint` event dispatching. To fix this properly the web-platform would need support for asynchronous printing, and we'll thus have to hope that things work correctly anyway.
Note that currently the `DidSave` event is not *guaranteed* to actually be dispatched if there's any errors during saving, which is easily fixed by simply moving it to occur in the `finally`-handler in `PDFViewerApplication.save` method.
For the `WillPrint`/`DidPrint` events, things are unfortunately more complicated. Currently these events will *only* be dispatched iff the printing request comes from within the viewer itself (e.g. by the user clicking on the "Print" toolbar button), however printing can be triggered in a few additional ways:
- In the GENERIC viewer:
- By the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>P</kbd> keyboard shortcut.
- In the MOZCENTRAL viewer, i.e. the Firefox built-in viewer:
- By the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>P</kbd> keyboard shortcut.
- By the "Print" item, as found in either the Firefox "Hamburger menu" or in the browser-window menu.
In either of the cases described above, no `WillPrint`/`DidPrint` events will be dispatched. In order to *guarantee* that things work in the general case, we thus have to move the `dispatchEventInSandbox` calls to the "beforeprint"/"afterprint" event handlers instead.
Similar to other markers that we currently skip, by ignoring unsupported Coding style default (COD) options we'll at least render *something* here (although some JPEG 2000 images may look slightly wrong).
Note that if the unsupported COD options lead to additional errors, during parsing, we'll still abort parsing of the JPEG 2000 image.
Rather than calling `getJavaScript` in the API and then ignoring the result, when "enableScripting" is set, it should be more efficient/faster to simply skip it altogether instead.
Finally, the `setTimeout` call at the end of `PDFViewerApplication._initializeAutoPrint` is removed, since it doesn't seem necessary any more as far as I can tell.[1]
Note that when this functionality was originally added, back in PR 2839, it seems that `pagesPromise` simply waited for the `getPage` calls of *all* pages to resolve. Today, on the other hand, the viewer fetches *and* renders the first page *before* doing the remaining `getPage` calls, and only afterwards is `pagesPromise` resolved. Hence it's not really clear why we now need to delay printing even further with a `setTimeout` call.

[1] The patch was tested with the following documents: https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/master/test/pdfs/bug1001080.pdf and https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/master/test/pdfs/issue6106.pdf
The `gulp components` task is only necessary when running the reference-tests, since they use the `SimpleLinkService` during the `annotationLayer` sub-tests.
However, unit-tests don't actually use any part of the `gulp components` build, and we can thus reduce the overall runtime of the standalone unit-tests by not building unnecessary files.
This will, in a very simple way using the existing events, thus allow the viewer to remove the "beforeunload" `window` event listener when the document is closed.
Generally speaking we want to avoid having *global* event listeners for the PDF document instance, which is why the `EventBus` exists, and instead reserve global events for the viewer itself. However, the `AnnotationStorage` "beforeunload" event unfortunately needs to be document-specific and we should thus ensure that it's correctly removed when the document is destroyed.
These callbacks should not be necessary *before* the document has been initialized. Furthermore, move the functionality to a new helper-method since `PDFViewerApplication.load` is already quite large.
