I also have to point out that this particular exploit only exists because
Firefox reinvents the PDF reader wheel (shipping a PDF reader in JavaScript
(!)) instead of reusing Okular as Konqueror does. The Firefox PDF
implementation does not even use the poppler library, it's a completely Not
Invented Here solution

so what - that makes your from a security experts point of view insane "Konqueror is more safe because nobody targets it for attacks" and "hey there was a security hole" not better

i revert your "does not even use the poppler library" easily with

- Add poppler-0.15.0-CVE-2010-3702.patch
- Add poppler-0.15.0-CVE-2010-3703.patch
- Add poppler-0.15.0-CVE-2010-3704.patch
- CVE-2009-3607 poppler: create_surface_from_thumbnail_data

and say "hmm Konqueror and Okular where vulnerable while Firefox was likely not at that moment" just to show that your whole security argumentation is pointless
