We have add javascript in pdf which is not fire in your built in firefox pdf viewer.

When i change to viewer to acrobat it will working fine in firefox but it will not work in your built in pdf viewer.

We can not ask every client for change defult pdf viewer to acrobat this will be not good practice.

Sorry, the builtin Firefox PDF reader does not support Javascript objects at this time.

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.

If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.

You can also get in touch with the developers by filing your feature request as a bug report on Bugzilla. The development team will take a look at your request and may take action.

Most of the development work on the built-in viewer is coordinated on this site:

https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js

If there is a document you want someone to look at to address a particular problem, you can post a new issue with a link to the document and see whether it will be addressed.

But... there hasn't been any action on this one yet: Error: JavaScript is not supported #5767.
