Link to a viewer (if hosted on a site other than mozilla.github.io/pdf.js or as Firefox/Chrome extension):
There is no viewer as this is an Electron app.

Sorry, but that's unfortunately not a configuration that we can provide support for; please see https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#faq-support

Given the paths in your screen-shot, you might run into problems because of the file://-protocol. As mentioned e.g. in https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js#getting-the-code, try using a web server instead.

For future reference: Please see https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md (emphasis mine):

If you are developing a custom solution, first check the examples at https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js#learning and search existing issues. If this does not help, please prepare a short well-documented example that demonstrates the problem and make it accessible online on your website, JS Bin, GitHub, etc. before opening a new issue or contacting us in the Matrix room -- keep in mind that just code snippets won't help us troubleshoot the problem.
