Hi,

According to MFSA 2015-78 [1], the fix for CVE-2015-4495 is in two
parts. Would it make sense to backport the “Remove PlayPreview
registration from PDF Viewer” fix in pdf.js for Jessie (providing the
xul-ext-pdf.js standalone package, allowing one to override the shipped
version of pdf.js by this one)?

Please find attached a proposed debdiff, quickly tested in Jessie. Any
inside information (thus CCing iceweasel at p.d.o) of the relevance of this
fix would be welcome.

Regards

David
