   Shall we reopen this issue or start another issue for discussion? Because I found matchingUrls is really not a good idea to autoload plugins.

   In the dynamic websites, http servers will use route to select which pages should be rendered. So URL does often not direct a static file.

   For example, https://github.com/<user>/<repo>/blob/<branch>/<path>/<whatever>.pdf will not direct a PDF file. Github will open a webpage with its own online pdf reader to display this PDF file. So PDF.js will not be loaded by FireFox.

   But https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<user>/<repo>/<branch>/<path>/<whatever>.pdf will response a PDF file via HTTPS. The media type of its HTTPS response is application/pdf. So FireFox will load PDF.js.
