Be aware that the firefox devs have decided to enable javascript by default in the firefox native pdf viewer (been disabled previously).
If you don’t need/like this idea you can mitigate it:
Open about:config
, and accept the dire warning.
Navigate to pdfjs.enableScripting
and change to false.

what does document viewer 40.1 with those scripts?
It is not the viewer in question - by enabling JavaScript you are opening for a heap of privacy issues and possible malware injection by downloading arbitrary scripts and executing them in user context.
Bad bot.
