When I open a PDF in Firefox, a half-page notice opens, telling me I can highlight the PDF. This prevents me from doing absolutely everything. Cannot read the file, cannot print the file with the box in the way. How can I get rid of this box? Thanks for your time.

Every time I try to view a pdf file on Firefox I can view the file but in the lower right 1/4 of the screen I get a graphic of a page with shaded areas representing lines with writing on them. There is a type of pen cursor moving along the line.

This happens with different pdfs - from the internet and from my saved files. This doesn't happen on another computer with Firefox.

I've deleted and redownloaded Firefox an number of times, also tried troubleshoot mode - no improvement. Virus scanned, restarted a number of times.

Pdfs work on edge and chrome and reader with no problem.

I have a screenshot.

Any Ideas? Thanks

Firefox has been used to open PDFs. Suddenly, all the PDFs appear as totally black. If I hover over the tab for that PDF, it shows the little representation as normal white background. This just happened. Don't know how to correct for this.

Request: Please investigate this behavior to identify the root cause (e.g., rendering engine, plugin settings, or recent updates). Adjust Firefox’s default PDF handling settings or implement necessary fixes to ensure proper PDF display.

This issue impacts productivity and user experience. Kindly prioritize resolving it or provide workarounds. Thank you for your attention.

PERSISTENT FIREFOX POP-UP

Recently, whenever I open saved (or sometimes new web) documents in Firefox, a very large pop-up on the lower right side of my screen appears with a cartoon of a pencil scanning a document. Below the cartoon it states "Now you can highlight your PDFs! With our new highlighter tool, you can read and edit PDFs in one place." The pop-up blocks half the view of the document and cannot be minimized or closed. It also prevents accessing (it hides) the "print" option if I want to print/save the page. I have WINDOWS 11 and have looked online for solutions to this problem which always produces the same suggestion: "go to 'settings', click 'privacy & security', check 'block pop-ups', click 'OK'", all of which I've done. I now limit my use of Firefox to streaming videos via amazon, and use Chrome or Edge for anything else I need to do, but I assume Firefox would not be happy to know of the aggravation their browser is causing, forcing users to go elsewhere (or am I the only person having this problem). Thank you in advance for any new suggestions.

Hello,

I have a PDF that opens and displays correctly in Adobe as well as the Edge Browser.

However, when I attempt to open it in Firefox in Windows 11 it doesn't show the letter "i" - - - I swear I'm not making it up. I had a friend try to open it in her Firefox (Windows 10) the letter "i" is also missing.

I wish I could attach the actual PDF so others can test but I will add a screenshot to this message.

Regards,

Paul
