Dynamic-XFA Java Element Buttons Don't Work in Firefox Desktop 151

PercussionGuy33 replied

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.

Hi, it would be better to report it on github, attaching exemplary PDF document.

I looked on the main firefox page for actions and it doesn't allow me to add an issue. I'm not sure were on their github page I would report this.

https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/actions << Doesn't allow reporting
