I'm adding these temporary l10n strings, so that I don't have to stare at a bunch of warning messages in the web-console when using the development viewer.
While it's still not entirely clear if this would've prevented the issue as reported, given that the particular use-case reported apparently no longer applies, this small change really cannot hurt in general *and* it won't effect "regular" viewer builds in any way.
Given how the compatibility-values are being handled, it's not actually possible to override a *truthy* default-value with a *falsy* compatibility-value.
This is a simple oversight on my part, and with modern ECMAScript features this is very easy to support.
With the changes made in the previous patch, we can now list "disableTelemetry" in the `AppOptions` only for the `CHROME`-builds and thus remove the special-casing in the `checkChromePreferencesFile` helper function.
Currently there's a lot of duplication in the `buildLib` and `buildDefaultPreferences` functions, which seem quite unfortunate. Hence this patch extracts the common functionality in a new `buildLibHelper` function instead.
Originally the default preferences where simply placed in a JSON-file, checked into the repository, which over time became impractical, annoying, and error-prone to maintain; please see PR 10548.
While that improved the overall situation a fair bit, it however inherited one quite unfortunate property of the old JSON-based solution[1]: It's still not possible for *different* build targets to specify their *own* default preference values.
With some preferences, such as e.g. `enableScripting`, it's not inconceivable that you'd want to (at least) support build-specific default preference values. Currently that's not really possible, which is why this PR re-factors the default preferences generation to support this.

[1] This fact isn't really clear from the `AppOptions` implementation, unless you're familiar with the `gulpfile.js` code, which could lead to some confusion for those new to this part of the code-base.
A number of the currently supported *scripting* events only make sense in the "normal" viewer mode, and not when PresentationMode is active. For example:
- Changing the zoom-level will outright break rendering in PresentationMode, since it relies on "page-fit" being used.
- Focusing a particular (AcroForm) element won't work, and could break keyboard navigation, since forms should not be editable in PresentationMode (see issue 12232).
While this will perhaps not be perfect for *every* PDF document with mixed page orientation, based on the large number of bugs/issues seen over the years I'm however pretty convinced that it'll be an overall improvement in a majority of cases.
In order to improve things further, we'd probably need Firefox to support e.g. `@page` such that the viewer can provide better information to the print engine.
Currently, with `enablePrintAutoRotate = true` set, we're forced to loop through all the pages *twice* when checking for any landscape pages.
This seems completely unnecessary now, and using only *one* loop should be marginally more efficient in general.
Currently landscape pages are rotated *clockwise*, which for most documents feel wrong since holding the printed pages at their *left* edge causes the landscape pages to be viewed "upside down".
In general, since most documents are LTR ones, it feels more appropriate to instead rotate landscape pages *counterclockwise* for printing.
Similar to the existing `annotationsPromise` and `_jsActionsPromise` properties, the new `_xfaPromise` should obviously also be reset, since otherwise you might end up holding onto a lot of data for pages that are no longer active.
(That caching wasn't present in the original version of PR 13069, which is why I didn't spot it until now.)
- add an option to enable XFA rendering if any;
- for now, let the canvas layer: it could be useful to implement XFAF forms (embedded pdf in xml stream for the background and xfa form for the foreground);
- ui elements in template DOM are pretty close to their html counterpart so we generate a fake html DOM from template one:
- it makes easier to translate template properties to html ones;
- it makes faster the creation of the html element in the main thread.
Given that https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1699219 has enabled scripting for all Firefox-channels, it seems reasonable to simply set `enableScripting = true` unconditionally in the viewer preferences/options.
For now, this patch leaves the standalone viewer-components alone (such as e.g. `BaseViewer`), and if those are used scripting will thus have to be manually enabled (see e.g. the "simpleviewer"/"singlepageviewer" examples).
While there is nothing *outright* wrong with the existing implementation, it can however lead to increased memory usage in one particular case (that I completely overlooked when implementing this):
For "data:"-URLs, which by definition contains the entire PDF document and can thus be arbitrarily large, we obviously want to avoid sending, storing, and/or logging the "raw" docBaseUrl in that case.
To address this, this patch makes the following changes:
- Ignore any non-string in the `docBaseUrl` option passed to `getDocument`, since those are unsupported anyway, already on the main-thread.
- Ignore "data:"-URLs in the `docBaseUrl` option passed to `getDocument`, to avoid having to send what could potentially be a *very* long string to the worker-thread.
- Parse the `docBaseUrl` option *directly* in the `BasePdfManager`-constructors, on the worker-thread, to avoid having to store the "raw" docBaseUrl in the first place.
It seems reasonable to place this alongside the *similar* `getFilenameFromUrl` helper function. This way, with the changes in the next patch, we also avoid having to expose the `isDataScheme` function in the API itself and we instead expose `getPdfFilenameFromUrl` in the API (which feels overall more appropriate).
The issue that this patch fixes is extremely unlikely, but still theoretically possible, and I really should've caught this earlier.
Note how `BaseViewer.pagesPromise` will only be defined when a document is active, see below, and that if a printing event (triggered from scripting) arrives while the document is been closed there's a small chance that the promise isn't defined.

This extends PR 13033 slightly, with a heuristic to support corrupt PDF documents where the `LineAnnotation`s have an empty /Rect-entry. Please note that while I have no idea if this is "correct", this patch at least makes us output the same /BBox as re-saving in Adobe Reader does.
This builds on top of #13100, but this changes printing behavior intentionally
so I thought it was worth discussing separately, to improve the rendering on
test-cases like the one in https://bugzil.la/1697778.
This matches what e.g. Evince does when you print the PDF in there on an A4
printer.
We use margins to center horizontally, and flex to center vertically. The
reasoning for this is that it should have better browser support (though maybe
pdf.js no longer supports browsers without flex support?) and it's just as
simple.
@supports() is not supposed to report support for page descriptors, this is
depending on a Chromium bug, which doesn't treat as invalid:
```
<div style="size: 1pt 1pt">
```
Even though it should. That is
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1079214
There's no need to use @supports for this. If the descriptor is not accepted it
will just be ignored.
That way, when Firefox implements @page { size }, which is in progress, it will
get the right behavior.
First, there's just no need to do something like this, this is simpler and
closer to what the screen renderer does.
Second, this causes overflow, which Firefox tries to compensate for when
fitting to page width, and fails at it. That is tracked in:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1698136
But this bug works around it by not causing overflow.
For modern browsers, we could avoid the duplication setting the style attribute
by using something like width: min/max-content, but this is not a big deal I
think, let me know if you'd prefer that.
Also I had to add a max-height for Chromium not to create extra pages. This
is harmless in Firefox and workarounds the Chromium bug, so so be it.
This is mostly done using `gulp lint --fix` with a few manual changes in

As part of testing this, I've diffed the output of `gulp mozcentral` with/without this patch and the *only* difference is the incremented `version`/`build` numbers.
