I see this "File not found" error while trying to open few PDFs using Firefox browser. For example: Income Tax return acknowledgement. I am able to open the same PDF using other Android apps like Kindle, Google Drive PDF Viewer, Files by Google etc.

Gemini says ...it's because 'Firefox for Android' does not support content:// links treating it as a security risk. Here's a screenshot for your reference:

I recently noticed that EVERY pdf I open for reading is being saved in my computer's Downloads folder! DESPITE my Settings "Ask where to save files before downloading" and "Ask to open or save files." I am enrolled in an online certification program: There is LOTS of reading. LOTS of information being shared through the class portal. I just discovered this mess a couple of weeks ago.

Today, I added a check mark to Other Files under Settings: "Delete private window downloads on close." I'm hoping this will resolve the problem. Am I missing something??? WHY is my longtime browser doing me like this?

FYI: I'm using the Windows 11 OS on my six-year-old laptop. My Firefox (152.0.5) stays current.

I am currently revising for professional qualifications and the PDF study manual I am using is extremely large.

I have seen tutors be able to use the document outline on the left sidebar to be able to filter through different chapters.

However, I do not have that option - I only have the option to view page-by-page which is not very helpful.

How can I get the document outline to show a chapter-by-chapter outline?

Hello,

I can't use the built in Highlighter anymore on locally saved PDFs. It only works on PDFs that are properly scanned in and where i can actually select the words. 2 days ago, I was still able to basically use the highlighter on all PDFs and draw on them however I liked. I haven't installed anything new or changed anything.

I also have tried to reset Firefox and reinstalled it. It's still not working.

I would really appreciate any help. I couldn't find anything based on my problems.

1. Have read some recent questions which are similar. 2. My current Firefox is 151.04 (64 bit) I use Windows 11 Home 3. My problem relates to payroll in QuickBooks and has only occurred for payroll run after 20th May 2026. PDF's for payrun dated 20th May 2026 open with no problem. Any payroll reports after that date fail.

     I download payrun report and the page in firefox browser tab shows a 0 of 0 display (not the normal report)
      The file is sitting in browser download, as well as my C drive file explorer under 'downloads'
      When I double click, or highlight and select open, or highlight and select open with - my SodaPDF app displays a message indicating it failed to open a file.

4. Queried QuickBooks who believe it is a compatibility error.

5. Queried app provider (Soda PDF) and have been doing checks with them, but not able to resolve at this time.

6. Last resort went into QuickBooks using Microsoft Edge - file opened in SodaPDF with no problem.

As my preference is Mozilla browser, would like to have resolved ASAP, otherwise I need to use another browser. Await your advice - Kind regards

I'm filling out an appcation for a study permit in canada. My university website said that i should download adobe acrobat reader and use it to open the application pdf. I didn't want to pay for adobe, so i opened it with firefox instead. In the document, there are tab selections that it allows so you can select answers accurate to you and fill out the document. But at the top of the document it says I should enable javascript by going to preferences, then edit, and and then reopen the form. How can I enable javascript in firefox? I'm having difficulty finding the preferences and edit sections.

It seems like field entry in PDFs for dates cannot be changed?

When filling forms using the nightly build `148.0a1` on ubuntu 24.04, all date fields seem to default to `mm/dd/yyyy` when I want to use `dd.mm.yyyy`. I cannot seem to find anywhere in firefox settings to change this default, and this makes it impossible to fill some forms correctly (as in the case of e.g. government forms in Germany, only one date format is accepted)

This is what I get on the Chase site in question when I look to see my statement. @ secure.chase.com/web/auth/pdfviewer?docKey=21743136-8056-4785-a682-0fd001b36caf&sor=STAR_MS&adaVersion=false&csrftoken=fdaab518f892e949fe5eef858b07f7eb 3 The page where the statement is supposed to be visible is blank.

It downloads the statement instead. I have been able to see the statement online previously, but now I can't. Would like to be able to see it.

When filling in the PDF documents, at each section/line I move too, the font reverts back to the super large size, without being prompted too. Is there a way to set the font, so it remains the same, unless prompted? When attempting to adjust the font, it goes from super large to super small, any suggestions to set the font in between these two sizes?

    • I opened up the document from my email and began working from there. Should I use a PDF program and not from the email?**
