Summary

For of Mozilla's PDF Viewer (pdf.js) with a fix for mouse wheel zooming (https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/10761). This issue causes the entire UI to be zoomed when holding CTRL and using the mouse scroll wheel to zoom the PDF document.

Mozilla do not intend to fix this issue because it would break compatibility with Internet Explorer. So I made a fork with the fix for Chrome users.

No other changes, only the fix for this issue. Sorry I do not provide any support. Send donations to your local cat charity.
