 Replying to [comment:1 mikeperry]:
 > FYI: Be careful with this one. There may be good reasons why remote
 resources are blocked from file urls in general, and a naive fix just for
 this pdf case could end up undoing that.

 True. What makes me suspicious is that it is no problem with a vanilla
 Firefox to load this and other pdfs from a local place.
