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?

Hi,

I'm wondering if fonts installed locally on Windows/PC can be supported in Firefox PDF Editor any time in the future? If you add this feature, it can bring huge productivity boost to us, the Firefox users. Just wondering if there is any development (or even a consideration) on this.

Best,

Hi Mozilla Support Community,

I use Firefox Desktop as my primary browser for running a corporate consultancy agency. Recently, I've noticed an issue with Firefox's built-in PDF reader (pdf.js) on certain official interactive forms.

When downloading, previewing, and filling out business registration forms, MOA templates, or tax certificates from corporate web portals (such as the SECP Portal Pakistan for company name search and FBR verification tools), certain custom font fields in the PDF appear overlapped or fail to display input text properly.

System Details:

Firefox Version: Latest Desktop Release (Windows 11) Issue: Form text fields in interactive PDFs fail to render non-standard font glyphs properly. I wanted to ask:

Is there a specific preference in about:config to force Firefox's PDF.js viewer to fallback to system fonts for interactive form fields? Is there a way to reset pdf.js rendering cache without clearing general site cookies and sessions for web applications? Any troubleshooting tips or about:config tweaks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! https://secpportal.com.pk/

I use Firefox as my default program for opening PDFs. But if I try to open more than one at the same time it will always leave one out and instead open a "New Tab" that I don't need. Can't figure out why or how to fix it.

Example: If I check (windows 11) files A, B, C, D, and E. It will open A, B, D, & E and a "New Tab" and leave out C.

Any Solutions?

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.

When viewing pdf files created from MS Word (.docx) documents and sent to me I see white lines across some images but not all. This happens with Firefox on Windows 11 and linux mint (various versions). It is present on the images from the file as received and after uploading to a website. The images are OK if viewed using Opera or other browsers but the same problem is present on Thunderbird. The file below has the problem on 2 images when viewed on Firefox. https://www.kass.org.uk/Documents/NewsletterFrom251114/20260304%20March%20Newsletter.pdf I have caused the writer of the article a lot of trouble because I blamed her file which seems to be OK. Can you help? Thanks Brian
