PDF support detection doesn't work in Firefox 19

[rcubetrac]

Reported by @alecpl on 23 Feb 2013 08:59 UTC as Trac ticket #1488972

The problem is with the new built-in PDF viewer which is not listed on plugins list. I'm not sure we do anything about that. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=840439

I already tried for hours but without success. And after a short IRC chat with the pdf.js people they refuse to register the plugin in navigator.plugins because they say it's proprietary. They suggested to do a feature check and I then tried with embedding a tag and trying to read the fallback content but also without success.

There's actually nothing we can do other than wait for the bugzilla ticket to be processed.

I have good results with empty pdf file and tag. Need more cross-browser tests. I see also that latest PluginDetect.js version also can detect PDF.js.

Unfortunately that JS code causes my Firefox 17 (Debian's version) without a PDF plugin to pop up a "Missing plugin" warning each and every time I login to roundcube. Maybe using that !PluginDetect.js would be the better option after all?

It was fixed in #1489118. This change was reverted.
