I was able to reproduce this issue on Latest Nightly 37.0a1 (2014-12-03), Firefox 32 (20140825202822) and Firefox 34 (20141125180439) using Windows 7 x64 and Mac OSX 10.9.5.

I am not sure if this is really a bug. 

Yuri can you please confirm this bug?

The fallback button is shown due to PDF wanting to execute the embedded JavaScript. This is indented behavior at the moment. The JavaScript in PDF feature is not supported yet (therefore a warning bar) since a) it can be unsafe or b) is not available for all PDF viewers -- we might be looking to support that in the future.

This is not using embedded JavaScript. It's a OpenAction: print which is fixed in this bug 1001080:

I agree. The current solution is replace OpenAction with JavaScript equivalent and execute it as such. To support printing, we open printing dialog if 'print' is found.

This bug is a valid one, but not critical: the print dialog is shown, we just need to properly handle actions without throwing the warning bar.

I hope Bug 1106300 can be fixed, otherwise, this "Open with different viewer" will cause a resize event which is quite annoying to our HTML5 RDP, VNC, SSH, Telnet application.

Chrome had similar problem before.
