https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1179262#c30 reads:
"Notice that "pdfjs.disabled" shall not be used, at least without
switching the handler." Not sure how one would "switch the handler",
and perhaps it doesn't mean what I think anyway.

Romeo Papa, do you want to research this further? It would be very
useful to add a mitigation measure when mentioning this security issue
in the "Known issues" section of the 1.5~rc1 call for testing.
