When using the Firefox built-in PDF viewer/editor, is there a way to check a checkbox neatly?

When Firefox 111.0 came up today (3/16/2023) (system is Windows 11), it displayed a message that the user can edit PDFs directly in Firefox. It provided a sample document to practice on. The sample document contains checkboxes. There are tools at the right end of a toolbar above the document, but none of them seem to apply to checkboxes.

A user could select the pencil tool and draw a checkmark with the mouse, but it is hard to do this neatly.

The facility I am thinking of would correspond to going into Fill & Sign under Adobe Acrobat and selecting the checkmark tool.

Note: The article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-or-choose-another-viewer gives instructions for using the Firefox built-in PDF viewer and editor, but it does not mention this point.

Having a long list of bookmarks, I used to be able to scroll to the bottom, chose a bookmark there and after closing the page and opening bookmarks again, it has stayed focused around the last used one. Now, when I open bookmarks again, it has reverted back to the top and have to scroll all the way down again to the one I want. This happened since the latest update. I have not been able to find any solution in settings. Can anyone point me to a solution?

Best regards,

My Firefox was updated last night to v111.0 and, when I logged on this morning, a site that I have used daily for several months did not connect bacause of a potential security issue. The site is one of the Cher French Archives (www.archives18.fr) and the error code is MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT. Per your instructions, I should be able to "Accept the Risk and Continue" on the ADVANCED page. However, that option is not available when I jump to the ADVANCED page. Please help!

Several times a day, for no apparent reason, the Firefox window will go blank, as shown in the attached screenshots. It goes back to normal seemingly when I move my cursor. More rarely, when this happens, I get a Windows notification with the message "Application firefox.exe has been blocked from accessing Graphics hardware". I suspect the two things are related.

My graphics card might be relevant; it's an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER.

Hello, so i have a hp laptop running on windows 11. I have 2 different wifi sources here at my home, one of them is a DSL zyxel modem from century link & the other is a Verizon internet gateway that runs off of cell towers. I recently logged into both of them to configure some of the settings etc. and in the past when i only had the DSL wifi, i would log into it via file explorer>network>network interface and then select the router & would automatically be taken to the login page. For the verizon wifi, i had to go into the browser searchbar ,while being connected to that network, and enter the default IP address of 192.168.0.1 and it would take me to the login page. I first logged into the DSL network and then for the first time ever, into the verizon one, and now when i try to login to the DSL network via my traditional method & also by inputting its IP address into the searchbar (both routers have the same default address to access setup), it takes me to the verizon login page regardless if im connected to it or not. If i input the DSL modems IP address into Edge browser while connected to it, it takes me to the correct login page for that network which leads me to believe that somehow something is messed up with my firefox browser. Ive already tried going into the saved passwords and deleting the saved verizon login info. Any other ideas as to what it could be? Thanks, JD

Hi guys, I have been having a problem with Yahoo for at least a month now. When I first try to access my Yahoo home page it either won't open at all or it hangs at random points when opening, this also occurs when I have actually managed to open my homepage and want to open my mailbox. I am using the www.uk.yahoo.com address on a 1GB connection. When I open the same site on any other browser it opens immediately. Bizarrely the longer I am online and accessing the page it gets better as time goes on. Can anyone shed any light on this please?

It's been a while now since Firefox introduced PDF annotation feature and it is a great feature as i always deal with PDF documents that i have to annotate/sign using Huion tablet. However, when in "draw" mode, the PDF viewer scrolls along with the pen, which is makes it hard to write on to the PDF. I have no problem with other PDF viewer/browser that has the same feature.

For reasons I have been unable to determine, FireFox is partially loading Amazon and Netflix and freezing. The mouse will work on closing the browser but will not click on videos or reload the tab. It's inconsistent. Sometimes working without a problem. Sometimes freezing when I first switch on the computer. I've tried everything. System maintenance doesn't help. FireFox uses so much memory, it's difficult at times to get into the Task Manager to assess what's going on.

(Memory note. This computer is primarily used for Amazon Prime, Netflix and YouTube. Sometimes Peacock.)

Trying to sync potentially added a glitch where I can no longer delete history and have to manually delete. (When I found it the other computer, it said/showed it had been clearing history. But I had manually delete several months.)

Refreshing has no effect.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall but it reinstalled the exact same set-up without a few pinned links on the new window start up page.

When playing videos in Firefox (on YouTube and other websites), the video is consistently delayed by about a second.

-This issue is NOT present in Chrome -This issue is present on both my PCs, both running the latest version of Windows 11 and Firefox -I've cleared my cache and cookies and reinstalled Firefox with no change -I've applied the recommended settings from this article with no change.

Note that the AUDIO appears to be in sync, the VIDEO lags for a bit and then remains noticeably behind the audio. Any advice would be appreciated.

I use Firefox to access Facebook live, from which I live stream. Starting in the last few weeks (I don't know when exactly, sorry), I now get this error message (in the stream Event log) when I stream:

Too low key frame rate (currently 0.13 key frames/second; recommended minimum 0.25 )

And I get a separate warning from Facebook that the key frame rate is too low, and will result in poor video quality.

If I stream from Chrome, I don't get the error (but Chrome has other problems), so I think it must be related to Firefox. Is there anything I can do about it? Thanks.
