Description: Upgrading pdfjs-legacy (also manifests in pdfjs) causes Qutebrowser to stop displaying pdf files in browser.

***Cross-reference  FS#80236 ***

Additional info:
* package version(s) 4.0.189-1

Steps to reproduce: Upgrade pdfjs. Open any pdf file in qutebrowser; a good test URL: https://s29.q4cdn.com/175625835/files/doc_downloads/test.pdf.

See resulting error page.

Downgrade pdfjs and everything is back to normal.

**NOTE**

Looking at the version information for qutebrowser, I see this line:

*pdf.js: 3.11.174 (/usr/share/pdf.js/build/pdf.js)

And for 4.0.189-1:

*pdf.js: no

Directory listing for 3.11.174-1:

And, the directory listing for 4.0.189-1:

I would guess that's why qutebrowser cant find pdf.js.
