PDFs will not display when opened in Firefox; instead, there are grey boxes for pages.
I tried to open a pdf on Firefox, but all I got were black pages everywhere. I can read the pdf on other browsers such as Edge.

this is supposed to have a QR code, but it does not load. I have attached a still screenshot below.
I also cannot upload images using Firefox to Messenger. The large purple image is a result of an upload, but it should be a picture of a woman saved from Krita.
I tried a setting called "Refresh Firefox" and that fixed it but only for less than a day. whats going on?

Trying to not just edit a PDF in Firefox on Linux but actually edit the document using its Dynamic-XFA format elements of that PDF. XFA is an Adobe proprietary format that they depreciated several years ago but it still works in Adobe Acrobat Free. (I use a Windows guest VM for this as a workaround for now but I'd rather not since it takes extra resources and time). Elements can be filled in FF and some menu drop downs work in FF but other dynamic XFA element buttons don't respond like the one I attached.
In Acrobat the "X" and "Add Contact" buttons will add or remove some elements to the document.
Can this be done in FF desktop?
Version 151.0.1 (64 bit) on desktop PC.
In about:config I know there are a lot of options to modify under the search term "pdfjs" but I don't know what element would allow this to possibly work if its supported.
I wish I had other better options but government documents are what they are.

When printing a PDF with custom page ranges, the footer text in the print preview (see image) does not match the actual page. As shown in the example image, if I want to print pages 2-16, the preview indicating page 4 is actually page 5.
So, if I want to print with a very custom range, such as 2-4, 6-10, 12-14, 16, it will be very confusing and will take longer to adjust.
And I also print custom ranges like this very often for daily tasks. I’m not sure if this is a bug or just a minor adjustment needed in Firefox’s coding. Thank you in advance for your help.

I often open PDF links in Firefox. I can choose to open the PDF in a Firefox tab. If I leave the tab open and restart my computer, or look for that tab sometime in the future, I often see a page that says File not found (see picture). Somehow the page is being cleared out of the cache. Not sure if Firefox is doing this, Windows or some other program. Any ideas to keep these pages so I can see them in the future?

Whenever I open up PDFs within the Firefox browser, they have a black background and the text and images do not appear. I can copy the text and images out of the pdf and into a word document and it works out fine. Also opening it up on other applications works out fine. Attached is what happens when I open up a known working pdf in Firefox. The browser version is the current version, 135.0.

Hello all,
I know this feature is brand new and awesome! I have a question about the statement below from the FAQ.
What does the statement "When editing with Firefox, your documents generally stay on your local device" mean? I am just wondering about the "generally" portion.
I sometimes have to edit sensitive documents and want to make sure that this editor is a viable option. Will there be a prompt if the file has to be uploaded to a server?
Just some security concerns.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I use a notetaking app called xournal++, which is helpful with graphic tablets.
There is this issue that seems persistent, When I annotate anything via xournal++, I export it to pdf and view it on firefox, The highlighting which is supposed to be slightly transparent, Appears completely opaque, blocking text underneath it
Now I Would normally contact the xournal team, but it seems this issue is only present in mozilla's pdf reader
I have tried opening other pdfs, although the same results occur
(Also apologies in advance I have no clue which category this should be in)

I have Firefox set to always ask about how I want to open/save PDF files. Within the past couple weeks, I've encountered an issue with opening PDF files. When I click on a PDF and select "open with Firefox," the PDF opens in a new tab on Firefox, but it also opens in Acrobat. When I select this option, I just want the PDF to open in my browser, and I cannot find a way to stop it from simultaneously opening in Acrobat.

I've searched the community for support to add bookmarks inside my PDF files using Firefox, but all I get are articles and community posts from two or three years ago.
I currently see no features or buttons to edit the outline of a PDF using Firefox (153.0.4). Are there any Firefox extensions or other Firefox methods that I can use to do this in the meanwhile, or do I have to resort to using third-party software and solutions?
Where can I suggest to add this feature if it doesn't exist?
Thank you for reading.
