With the changes in PR 16153 we're no longer setting a `<base href>` in the Firefox PDF Viewer, hence it shouldn't be necessary to keep setting a `baseUrl` in the `PDFLinkService`-class.
Given that the original document URL is now kept, the browser itself will handle relative URLs and we can thus slightly reduce the amount of string parsing required when handling various links in the viewer.
Given that the debugging hash-parameters will only be used when the `pdfBugEnabled` option is manually set[1], we can skip a *tiny* bit of asynchronicity for "regular" users.

[1] Note that it's enabled by default in the development viewer, i.e. in `gulp server` mode.
In the mac case we don't want to care about the scaleFactor threshold
because else if too big another move could start and then subsequent
events aren't considered as wheel events.
It isn't really ideal and at some point we'll need to find a way at
least for the Firefox case to get the real events instead of the fake
wheel ones.
Currently there's no toolbar in the GV-viewer, hence invoking the pageLabels functionality isn't meaningful and just leads to unnecessary parsing on both the main- and worker-threads. (And if a toolbar is added at some point, it's not clear to me if we'd want to support pageLabels in the GV-viewer anyway.)
Currently we have a couple of pre-processor checks, specifically for the GV-viewer, spread throughout the code. This works fine when *building* the viewer, however they're obviously ignored in development mode (i.e. `gulp server`).
This leads to a situation where the GV development viewer, i.e. http://localhost:8888/web/viewer-geckoview.html, behaves subtly different from its built version. This could easily lead to bugs, hence this patch introduces a development mode constant to hopefully improve things here.
Finally, in a follow-up to PR 15842, also ignores the `pageMode`-state since there's no sidebar available.
Currently there's no UI for this functionality in the GV-viewer, however we still call the API methods. This potentially leads to a bunch of worker-thread parsing, for PDF documents with these features, despite the result being completely unused.
Given that mobile devices are usually more resource constrained than desktop/laptop computers, not to mentioned battery life, we can avoid doing work that'll just be ignored anyway.
Given that the GV-viewer isn't using most of the UI-related components of the default-viewer, we can avoid including them in the *built* viewer to save space.[1]
The least "invasive" way of implementing this, at least that I could come up with, is to leverage import maps with suitable stubs for the GV-viewer.
The one slightly annoying thing is that we now have larger import maps across multiple html-files, and you'll need to remember to update all of them when making future changes.

[1] With this patch, the built `viewer.js` size is 391 kB and `viewer-geckoview.js` is 285 kB.
This is very old code, where we loop through the user-provided options and build an internal parameter object. To prevent errors we also need to ensure that the parameters are correct/valid, which is especially important for the ones that are sent to the worker-thread such that structured cloning won't fail.[1]
Over the years this has led to more and more code being added in `getDocument` to validate the user-provided options, and at this point *most* of them have at least basic validation. However the way that this is implemented feels slightly backwards, since we first build the internal parameter object and only *afterwards* validate those parameters.[2]
Hence this patch changes the `getDocument` function to instead check/validate the supported options upfront, and then *explicitly* build the internal parameter object with only the needed properties.
---
[1] Note the supported types at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API/Structured_clone_algorithm#supported_types
[2] The internal parameter object may also, because of the loop, end up with lots of unnecessary properties since anything that the user provides is being copied.
These functions invoke the `PDFViewer.currentPageNumber` setter, which already checks that a `pdfDocument` is currently active. Also, given that they're event handlers for the First/Last-page buttons (in the SecondaryToolbar) they can't be invoked before the viewer has been fully initalized.
The reasons for making this change are:
- There's no UI available to toggle the cursor-tools in the GeckoView-specific viewer.
- The `HandTool`-implementation basically *simulates* touch scrolling, and is thus unlikely to be helpful/useful anyway.
- PR 15831 already changed the relevant call-sites to handle `PDFViewerApplication.pdfCursorTools` being undefined.
Some of the code in this method is *very* old, and we could thus modernize it a little bit by removing a couple of the loops used to build the `getDocument` argument.
The only parameter that we actually need here is the `PDFDataRangeTransport`-instance, since the others are not necessary.
- The `url` parameter, as passed to the `getDocument` function in the API, is simply being ignored; see 2d87a2eb1c/src/display/api.js (L447-L458)
- The `length` parameter, as passed to the `getDocument` function in the API, is always being overwritten; see 2d87a2eb1c/src/display/api.js (L519-L525)
Until PR 12563 is deemed safe to land, I'd still like to be able to use worker-modules in the viewer during local development.
Hence this patch which *temporarily* adds a new `workerModules` hash-parameter, only available in non-PRODUCTION mode, that allows using worker-modules in the development viewer.
To enable this functionality, simply use http://localhost:8888/web/viewer.html#workerModules=true
If this method was added today, I really can't imagine that we'd support anything *except* objects. Unfortunately we cannot just remove this now, since the code has existed since "forever", however we can deprecate this and limit it to only the GENERIC build.
Furthermore, we can avoid a redundant `PDFViewerApplication.setTitleUsingUrl` call in the Firefox PDF Viewer since the title has already been set previously in that case.
It seems nicer overall, since we're exporting the `ProgressBar` in the viewer-components, to move this functionality into the `ProgressBar`-class itself rather than handling it "manually" in the default-viewer.
- Scale factor is rounded to only scale by integer percent, hence the unused
ticks are accumulated (like we already do for zoom with the mouse wheel).
- Use the same thing for the pinch-to-zoom on a touchscreen: it led to slightly
refactor the code because it happened to ignore a not so small scale which
led to a not so smooth zooming.
In GeckoView, on an event, a callback must be executed with the result of an action,
but the callback can be used only one time.
So for each FindInPage event, we must trigger only one matches count update.
This tweaks a few name that originated in PR 15812, to improve overall consistency:
- Use the `drawingDelay` parameter-name in all methods that accept a delay.
- Use the `postponeDrawing` variable-name in all relevant methods.
*This makes the same kind of changes as in the previous patch, but for the pageNumber-loadingIcon in the main toolbar.*
To display the pageNumber-loadingIcon when rendering starts, if the page is the most visible one, we'll utilize the existing "pagerender" event.
To toggle the pageNumber-loadingIcon as the user moves through the document we'll now instead utilize the "pagechanging" event, which should actually be slightly more efficient overall[1]. Note how we'd, in the old code, only consider the most visible page anyway when toggling the pageNumber-loadingIcon.

[1] Even in a PDF document as relatively short/simple as `tracemonkey.pdf`, scrolling through the entire document can easily trigger the "updateviewarea" event more than a thousand times.
Right now, the visible pages are redrawn for each scale change.
Consequently, zooming with mouse wheel or in pinching can be pretty janky
(even on a desktop machine but with a hdpi screen).
So the main idea in this patch is to draw the visible pages only once zooming
is finished.
The container position and dimensions should be almost constant, hence
it's pretty useless to query them on each rescale.
Finally it avoids to trigger some reflows.
First of all, given the screen-sizes of most mobile phones using Spread modes is unlikely to be useful.
Secondly, and more importantly, since there's (currently) no UI available for the user to override a PDF document-specified Spread mode this would result in a bad UX otherwise.
Also, removes an outdated comment from the `apiPageLayoutToViewerModes` helper function.
The idea is just to resuse what we got on the first draw.
Now, we only update the scaleX of the different spans and the other values
are dependant of --scale-factor.
Move some properties in the CSS in order to avoid any updates in JS.
This patch has been successfully tested in a local, artifact, Firefox build.
*Please note:* The only thing that'll no longer work for PDF documents opened using "data:"-URLs is middle-clicking on internal/outline links, in order to open the destination in a new tab. This is however an extremely small loss of functionality, and as can be seen in the bug the alternative (i.e. doing nothing) is surely much worse.
Add a deprecation notification for PDFDocumentLoadingTask.onUnsupportedFeature and PDFDocumentProxy.stats
which are likely useless.
The unsupported feature stuff have initially been added in (#4048) in order to be able to display a
warning bar and to help to have some numbers to know how a feature was used.
Those data are no more used in Firefox.
While it can't hurt to localize the main error-messages, also localizing the error *details* has always seemed somewhat unnecessary since those are only intended for debugging/development purposes. However, I can understand why that's done since the GENERIC viewer used to expose this information in the UI; via the `errorWrapper` UI that's removed in PR 15533.
At this point, when any errors are simply logged in the console, it no longer seems necessary to keep localizing the error *details* in the default viewer.
