I'd be curious as the reasons behind the "I wouldn't personally recommend it."
I went on a quick look through https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1738574 (before seeing you provided two (other ones) right after…) to find the corresponding `about:config`, but I'm not even sure this is limited to PDFs (as those are opened by Firefox itself) or to much more things?

Well yeah, of course, but that's especially true when people were used to a specific behavior for like more than 15 years and don't understand the reason that lead to this change, which is, at least for me, makes less sense. But I guess the answer to this would be the same as the answer to my first sentence and should be digged out from whichever bug introduced that change?

I'd be curious as the which are the rationales behind the "I wouldn't personally recommend it."
