Firefox Community Forum

Well, there is a bug with your downloading files configurations that REALLY ANNOYS me, which is, i want to always select where to save my downloaded files, no problem with that, i just set all configurations to "always ask", but sometimes, especially for pdfs, i want to just open them, without the need to save them to my computer, so the only one i have set as "open with firefox" is the pdfs, and if i want to download them, i just do so by clicking the download button on the corner. BUT, with this configuration, if there is a button to download a pdf, without opening it previously, it will skip the "ask where to download" pop-up, which is a pain in the ass, as usually want my stuff in specific folders, not the general downloads one. And even iff i set pdfs to "always ask" and then chose to open with firefox, it will automatically download it (???????) to the downloads folder, and then open it from my pc, even tho it could open it from the file in the server, which is what i wanted. I just switched to firefox, please fix this awful feature and dont make me find another browser.

Since the update to Firefox a few days ago, I am no longer able to view PDFs in the browser. They still open, but they show up as blank pages. Is there a way to fix this or to revert back to the previous version of FF?

Thanks.

On loading some documents a popup appears asking me to "Sign on the dotted line". This shows a pencil making a signature. I am unable to move or delete this popup and therefore cannot read the document fully. I can't print it either as the popup obscures the printer instruction area. I would be very pleased to know how to remove/block/disable this uncalled for obstruction

I read Firefox's suggestion to use the browser to edit pdf's and thought I'd give it a try, thinking I might be able to use it instead of my old Adobe Acrobat editor.

But I immediately noticed that there's no way to draw a shape with the Firefox pdf editor - a circle for example. The Help says I can select shapes from the Draw menu but the only thing that appears on my Draw menu is a line (see the attachment).

What am I doing wrong?

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.

When I try to select some object on a pdf page, a little window appears with "select" and "comment", and the window blocks other objects of the page. How to remove that forever? That is very inconvenient.

Why has Mozilla decided to COMPLETELY IGNORE security settings applied to PDF documents? I have a number of PDFs secured so as to prevent the ability to print or copy text. When opened with Firefox, all of these settings are ignored.

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.
