User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0
Build ID: 20130215130331

Steps to reproduce:

I generate some pdfs that have links that contain javascript (javascript: window.open('url'); void(0);). The links do not work in the pdf viewer.


Actual results:

The link does not work and if I right click and open in new window it sends me to resource://pdf.js/web/.


Expected results:

The javascript should open the page in a new tab/window. This works in all other browsers and if I switch the action from 'preview in FFox' to 'Use Adobe Acrobat' in FF preferences, it works as well.
