Regression range

Potential regressor: Bug 1660617 - Update pdf.js to version 2.6.302 / https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/12265

Additional notes

These are the errors thrown in Browser console: InvalidStateError: An attempt was made to use an object that is not, or is no longer, usable PdfjsParent.jsm:276:12 Uncaught DOMException: An attempt was made to use an object that is not, or is no longer, usable PdfjsParent.jsm:276

Suggested severity

I my opinion this should have the S2 severity since the notification will be stuck on the page and user has to close the tab to get rid of it.

Does this have something to do with #12285 or is that unrelated?

Unfortunately it’s unrelated, since the errors mentioned above happens on browser-side (and in the parent process nonetheless, rather than in the content process); I’d even expect that the issue reported here has been around since basically forever.

This is actually a (forward) duplicate of #12305, which was fixed a while back!
