When I try to open a pdf from with a Pixel 7 pro from the Files app, Fenix returns a 404.
But it works when I try to open a pdf from Chrome.
I added some logging in:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/geckoview/src/main/java/org/mozilla/geckoview/ContentInputStream.java#115-132
and when the pdf is provided by Files (`content://com.google.android.apps.nbu.files.provider...`), `isExported` return `false`, when it returns `true` when opened from Chrome (`content://media/external/downloads/...`).

Checking if the provider is exported is one of the mitigations proposed here:
https://developer.android.com/privacy-and-security/risks/content-resolver#mitigations_2
After reading this again and again, I can see that there is a "OR" between each possibility.
So here we want to be sure that the user granted the provider and consequently we don't need to check if it's exported.
