This checks for both prefs on the understanding that we need to work on older versions of Firefox. If that isn't the case, the first part of the if isn't necessary. This should only land if bug 639134 is resolved - I'd make the patch part of that bug, but AIUI pdfjs's canonical repo is on github, so...
As of Firefox 35, isContentWindowPrivate should be used for DOM windows instead of isWindowPrivate.
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1069059 and
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/diff/324798b60ba3/toolkit/modules/PrivateBrowsingUtils.jsm
Without this fix, you will get the following error message when Firefox+PDF.js is started:
>
WARNING: content window passed to PrivateBrowsingUtils.isWindowPrivate. Use isContentWindowPrivate instead (but only for frame scripts).
