### Option 2 - Using bugzilla patch

### Option 3 - Using MXR
- If you know it was good in beta or aurora get the bad commit id from mxr
Find the line with 'PDFJS.build = ' and copy the value in the single quotes e.g. 4e83123
auora - http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-aurora/source/browser/extensions/pdfjs/content/build/pdf.js#24

Aurora: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-aurora/source/browser/extensions/pdfjs/content/build/pdf.js#24
Beta: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-beta/source/browser/extensions/pdfjs/content/build/pdf.js#24
## 7) Verify the working version
- `git checkout <commit ID that you found above>`
- Full refresh (CTRL + Shift + R) Firefox and verify that the PDF no longer works
- Mark it as good `git bisect good`
## 8) Continue bisecting
- Full refresh(ctr+shift+r) of the viewer in Firefox
- If the current version works `git bisect good`
- If it fails `git bisect bad`
- Repeat same steps as above if it's bad `git bisect bad` if it's good `git bisect good`
- Full refresh (CTRL + Shift + R) of the viewer in Firefox
- If the current version works, mark it using `git bisect good`
- If it fails, mark it using `git bisect bad`
