The actual form would be

http://web.mit.edu/~simsong/www/ugh.pdf#page=177

For pdf.js (used by Firefox), refer to https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Viewer-options

If using Adobe Reader, refer https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pd...

(The second variant mentioned by you that works in Firefox using pdf.js appears to be a undocumented feature!)
