This functionality is purposely limited to development mode and GENERIC builds, since it's unnecessary in e.g. the *built-in* Firefox PDF Viewer, and will only be used when a `<base>`-element is actually present.
*Please note:* We also have tests in mozilla-central that will *indirectly* ensure that relative filter-URLs work as intended in the Firefox PDF Viewer, see https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/pdfjs/test/browser_pdfjs_filters.js

To test that the issue is fixed, the following code can be used:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<base href=".">
<title>base href (issue 18406)</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li>Place this code in a file, named `base_href.html`, in the root of the PDF.js repository</li>
<li>Run <pre>npx gulp dist-install</pre></li>
<li>Run <pre>npx gulp server</pre></li>
<li>Open <a href="http://localhost:8888/base_href.html">http://localhost:8888/base_href.html</a> in a browser</li>
<li>Compare rendering with <a href="http://localhost:8888/web/viewer.html?file=/test/pdfs/issue16287.pdf">http://localhost:8888/web/viewer.html?file=/test/pdfs/issue16287.pdf</a></li>
</ul>
