Comment (by cypherpunks):
Isn't this expected since JIT is disabled in those higher security
settings? Or should there be a whitelist for anything `pdf.js`?
I agree with you teor, loading PDFs in those security settings can be
annoyingly slow, especially PDFs containing scans of books. Hopefully with
[https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/7501#comment:19 FF59esr
and their switch to Chromium's PDFium we wont get such problems (although
it's written in C++ = memory unsafe)].
