Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:1 cypherpunks]:
 > inclusion of PDF Viewer 0.8.298 in TorBrowser-2.4.17-beta-1 by default
 directly conflicts with security goal of avoiding unmasking via javascript
 embedded in PDFs!

 PDF.js which we ship is not handling JavaScript inside pdf documents (and
 Mozilla is not planning to do that currently).
