[Brendan Dahl [:bdahl]]

No major issues have come up in nightly, so I plan to enable JS support to ride the trains to release. We can always disable in beta if anything comes up.

Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]: JavaScript is now supported in PDFs. Many PDF forms use JavaScript for validation and other interactive features.
[Affects Firefox for Android]: no
[Suggested wording]: The PDF viewer now supports JavaScript embedded in PDF files.

Added to 89 nightly release notes with this wording:

We keep on working on improving our PDF forms support and now support JavaScript embedded in PDF files (some PDF forms use JavaScript for validation and other interactive features). If you find any bug with this feature, please file an issue on the PDF.js repository
