 As noted by Mike Perry in a comment to ticket:7265#comment:6, the "site is
 trying to access canvas" warning is sometimes displayed when viewing a PDF
 file in-browser using PDF.js.

 As the warning is a false positive here (PDF.js can safely access the
 canvas without putting the user at the risk of fingerprinting), access to
 the canvas should be allowed without any prompt or warning.
