This reverts commit 2a0de0b66b.
I can no longer reproduce these issues locally, and if ad blockers are still interfering with this functionality we really ought to pursue a mozilla-central solution to the problem instead. (Also, I'm no longer getting an "Open with Firefox"-option in the "Open with"-dialog making the PDF attachments experience worse for all users.)
Unfortunately the work-around implemented in PR 12286 didn't actually work in all cases, please refer to the previous commit messages.
To prevent opening of PDF attachments from being completely broken for some users, we'll simply force-download them for now in MOZCENTRAL-builds to unbreak things. (Given that the "Open with" dialog now features a "Open with Firefox"-option, this is less bad than it previously would've been.)
This should provide better filetype detection when downloading PDF attachments in the viewer.
Also, to avoid creating the "is PDF file" regular expression more than once it's extracted into a global constant instead.
This reverts commit 1e5d4b6a80, since it unfortunately doesn't work in all situations.
Please note that I did *successfully* test the patch in a local Firefox build, obviously with an ad blocker installed.
However, I've now tested the *latest* Nightly-build with my default profile, and unfortunately I can still reproduce the bug there!?
Unfortunately e.g. ad blockers can interfere with `window.open` calls, thus preventing PDF attachments from being opened/viewed. For the MOZCENTRAL-build, we can work-around this problem by using a (hidden) link instead.
Prior to PR 11601, the `disableCreateObjectURL` option was present on `getDocument` in the API, since it was (potentially) used when decoding JPEG images natively in the browser. Hence setting this option, which was done automatically using compatibility-code, were in some browsers necessary in order for e.g. JPEG images to be correctly rendered.
The downside of the `disableCreateObjectURL` option is that memory usage increases significantly, since we're forced to build and use `data:` URIs (rather than `blob:` URLs).
However, at this point in time the `disableCreateObjectURL` option is only necessary for *some* (non-essential) functionality in the default viewer; in particular:
- The openfile functionality, used only when manually opening a new file in the default viewer.
- The download functionality, used when downloading either the PDF document itself or its attached files (if such exists).
- The print functionality, in the generic `PDFPrintService` implementation.
Hence neither the general PDF.js library, nor the *basic* functionality of the default viewer, depends on the `disableCreateObjectURL` option any more; which is why I'm thus proposing that we remove the option since using it is a performance footgun.
*Please note:* To not outright break currently "supported" browsers, which lack proper `URL.createObjectURL` support, this patch purposely keeps the compatibility-code to explicitly disable `URL.createObjectURL` usage *only* for browsers which are known to not work correctly.[1]
While it's certainly possible that there's additional, likely older, browsers with broken `URL.createObjectURL` support, the last time that these types of problems were reported was over *three* years ago.[2]
Hence in the *very* unlikely event that additional problems occur, as a result of these changes, we can either add a new case in the compatibility-code or simply declare the affected browser as unsupported.

[1] Which are IE11 (see issue 3977), and Google Chrome on iOS (see PR 8081).
[2] Given that `URL.createObjectURL` is used by default, you'd really expect more reports if these problems were widespread.
These two classes are unsurprisingly quite similar, and with upcoming changes[1] the amount of (essentially) duplicated code will increase even further.
Notable changes:
- Collect shared functionality in the `BaseTreeViewer` class, reducing both current and future code-duplication.
- Reduce unnecessary duplication in the CSS rules, which will be particularly useful with upcoming changes.
- Tweak the attachmentsView to use links, rather than buttons, to simplify (primarily) the CSS rules.
---
[1] Once API support for "Optional Content" lands, I've got more-or-less finished patches to add viewer support as well.
Since the attachment fetching/parsing is already asynchronous, possibly delaying the dispatching of an "attachmentsloaded" event should thus not be a problem in general.
Note that in some cases, i.e. PDF documents with no "regular" attachments and only FileAttachment annotations, we'll thus no longer dispatch an "attachmentsloaded" event when `attachmentsCount === 0` and instead wait for the FileAttachment parsing to finish. (The use of a timeout still guarantees that an "attachmentsloaded" event is *eventually* dispatched though.)
This patch *considerably* simplifies the "attachmentsloaded" event handler, in `PDFSidebar`, since the details are now abstracted away from the consumer.
Finally, add a check in `_appendAttachment` to ensure (indirectly) that the FileAttachment annotation is actually relevant for the active document.
This approach is already used in other parts of the code-base, see e.g. `PDFOutlineViewer`, and has the advantage of only invalidating the DOM once rather than for every attachment item.
With the changes in previous patches, the `disableCreateObjectURL` option/functionality is no longer used for anything in the API and/or in the Worker code.
Note however that there's some functionality, mainly related to file loading/downloading, in the GENERIC version of the default viewer which still depends on this option.
Hence the `disableCreateObjectURL` option (and related compatibility code) is moved into the viewer, see e.g. `web/app_options.js`, such that it's still available in the default viewer.
Apparently the old link format used in MOZCENTRAL-builds, with the blob URL separated from the filename with a `?` character violates the specification; see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1632644#c5
Obviously just removing the `?`-part of the URL would have worked, but that would also have meant that we'd no longer be able to provide the correct filename when the user attempts to download the opened PDF attachment.
To fix this we'll instead append the filename in the hash-part of the URL, which however required using a *custom* hash-parameter to avoid triggering the fallback "named destination" code-paths in the viewer.
Note that only changing the `web/pdf_attachment_viewer.js` file wasn't sufficient to fix the bug, and we also need to tweak the `webViewerInitialized` function in `web/app.js` since MOZCENTRAL-builds used to ignore *everything* in the URL hash.
This particular code is very old, but changing it *should* be completely safe given that the `PDFViewerApplication.setTitleUsingUrl` method since some time now stores both the original URL (in `this.url`) as well as one without the hash (in `this.baseUrl`). The latter one is already used everywhere where it matters, so this change seem fine to me.
This patch thus restores the original behaviour for PDF attachments in the MOZCENTRAL-build, by once again allowing them to be opened *directly* in the browser without downloading. (The fallback added in PR 11845 is obviously kept, since it seems generally useful to have.)
This is a simple work-around for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1632644 which was caused by platform changes in Firefox. Ideally the Firefox bug should still be fixed, but these PDF.js changes seem generally useful to prevent both current and future issues here.
There's no particular reason for using the PDF.js helper function `createObjectURL` here, given that the relevant code-path is already guarded by multiple "disableCreateObjectURL" option checks.
Please note that these changes were done automatically, using `gulp lint --fix`.
Given that the major version number was increased, there's a fair number of (primarily whitespace) changes; please see https://prettier.io/blog/2020/03/21/2.0.0.html
In order to reduce the size of these changes somewhat, this patch maintains the old "arrowParens" style for now (once mozilla-central updates Prettier we can simply choose the same formatting, assuming it will differ here).
Since the goal has always been, essentially since the `EventBus` abstraction was added, to remove all dispatching of DOM events[1] from the viewer components this patch tries to address one thing that came up when updating the examples:
The DOM events are always dispatched last, and it's thus guaranteed that all internal event listeners have been invoked first.
However, there's no such guarantees with the general `EventBus` functionality and the order in which event listeners are invoked is *not* specified. With the promotion of the `EventBus` in the examples, over DOM events, it seems like a good idea to at least *try* to keep this ordering invariant[2] intact.
Obviously this won't prevent anyone from manually calling the new *internal* viewer component methods on the `EventBus`, but hopefully that won't be too common since any existing third-party code would obviously use the `on`/`off` methods and that all of the examples shows the *correct* usage (which should be similarily documented on the "Third party viewer usage" Wiki-page).

[1] Looking at the various Firefox-tests, I'm not sure that it'll be possible to (easily) re-write all of them to not rely on DOM events (since getting access to `PDFViewerApplication` might be generally difficult/messy depending on scopes).
In any case, even if technically feasible, it would most likely add *a lot* of complication that may not be desireable in the various Firefox-tests. All-in-all, I'd be fine with keeping the DOM events only for the `MOZCENTRAL` target and gated on `Cu.isInAutomation` (or similar) rather than a preference.
[2] I wouldn't expect any *real* bugs in a custom implementation, simply based on event ordering, but it nonetheless seem like a good idea if any "external" events are still handled last.
After PR 9566, which removed all of the old Firefox extension code, the `FIREFOX` build flag is no longer used for anything.
It thus seems to me that it should be removed, for a couple of reasons:
- It's simply dead code now, which only serves to add confusion when looking at the `PDFJSDev` calls.
- It used to be that `MOZCENTRAL` and `FIREFOX` was *almost* always used together. However, ever since PR 9566 there's obviously been no effort put into keeping the `FIREFOX` build flags up to date.
- In the event that a new, Webextension based, Firefox addon is created in the future you'd still need to audit all `MOZCENTRAL` (and possibly `CHROME`) build flags to see what'd make sense for the addon.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/prefer-const
Note that this patch is generated automatically, by using the ESLint `--fix` argument, and will thus require some additional clean-up (which is done separately).
This patch makes the follow changes:
- Remove no longer necessary inline `// eslint-disable-...` comments.
- Fix `// eslint-disable-...` comments that Prettier moved down, thus causing new linting errors.
- Concatenate strings which now fit on just one line.
- Fix comments that are now too long.
- Finally, and most importantly, adjust comments that Prettier moved down, since the new positions often is confusing or outright wrong.
Note that Prettier, purposely, has only limited [configuration options](https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html). The configuration file is based on [the one in `mozilla central`](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/.prettierrc) with just a few additions (to avoid future breakage if the defaults ever changes).
Prettier is being used for a couple of reasons:
- To be consistent with `mozilla-central`, where Prettier is already in use across the tree.
- To ensure a *consistent* coding style everywhere, which is automatically enforced during linting (since Prettier is used as an ESLint plugin). This thus ends "all" formatting disussions once and for all, removing the need for review comments on most stylistic matters.
Many ESLint options are now redundant, and I've tried my best to remove all the now unnecessary options (but I may have missed some).
Note also that since Prettier considers the `printWidth` option as a guide, rather than a hard rule, this patch resorts to a small hack in the ESLint config to ensure that *comments* won't become too long.
*Please note:* This patch is generated automatically, by appending the `--fix` argument to the ESLint call used in the `gulp lint` task. It will thus require some additional clean-up, which will be done in a *separate* commit.
(On a more personal note, I'll readily admit that some of the changes Prettier makes are *extremely* ugly. However, in the name of consistency we'll probably have to live with that.)
As discussed in PR 8673, we cannot solve the general issue (since that would require parsing every single page). However, we can mitigate the effect somewhat, by waiting for the FileAttachment annotations of the initially rendered page.
Rather than duplicating initialization code, we can just call `this.reset()` instead (which is also similar to other existing code, e.g. `PDFViewer`). This will also help ensure that the DOM is completely reset, before any outline items or attachments are displayed.
Note that these files were among the first to be converted to ES6 classes, so it probably makes sense to do another pass to bring them inline with the most recent ES6 conversions.
This prevents issues with the filename detection being skipped, when trying to download the opened PDF attachment, since `getPDFFileNameFromURL` ignores `data:` URLs for performance reasons.
Note that as discussed on IRC, this makes the viewer slightly slower to load *only* in `gulp server` mode, however the difference seem slight enough that I think it will be fine.
Instead of just upstreaming the changes from [bug 1345253](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1345253) as-is, it seemed better to simply get rid of the loops altogether and use the same approach as in `PDFViewer`/`PDFThumbnailViewer`.
If users want to download, they can quickly click on the Download button
in the newly opened viewer.
The blobUrl logic for Firefox relies on `disableCreateObjectURL` is
never false in Firefox. If the assumption is invalid, then PDF
attachments at the attachment view will not correctly be displayed,
because a data-URL will be generated and `?<filename>` is treated as
part of the data:-URL.
Other PDF viewers, e.g. Adobe Reader, seem to append `FileAttachment`s to their attachments views.
One obvious difference in PDF.js is that we cannot append all the annotations on document load, since that would require parsing *every* page. Despite that, it still seems like a good idea to add `FileAttachment`s, since it's thus possible to access all the various types of attachments from a single place.
*Note:* With the previous patch we display a notification when a `FileAttachment` is added to the sidebar, which thus makes appending the contents of these annotations to the sidebar slightly more visible/useful.
Changes `PDFOutlineView`/`PDFAttachmentView` to be initialized once, since we're always creating them, and refactor their `render` methods to instead pass in the `outline`/`attachments`.
For consistency with other "classes", the `PDFOutlineView`/`PDFAttachmentView` are renamed to `PDFOutlineViewer`/`PDFAttachmentViewer`.
Also, make sure that the outline/attachments are reset when the document is closed. Currently we keep the old ones around until the `getOutline`/`getAttachments` API calls are resolved for a new document.
