I use Xero accounting software and used to be able to view pdf within the software up until the recent update. Now it just sits with a spinning wheel. I've found that if I change the setting within Firefox to open the pdf within Firefox the issue is fixed in Xero. But then all pdf's open in Firefox instead of the usual Adobe. This breaks other workflows within my organisation as I need to email the pdf straight away when I download it, so my Windows was set with Adobe as the default for opening pdf's but now Firefox has taken that over. There does not appear to be any way to email the pdf from Firefox other than to save it and then find the file and email it from there which is very time consuming. I don't know what has changed in Firefox, but please can you fix it. I see I'm not the only person with this issue.

When I am using the highlight tool in my firefox browser, the drop-down stays open and there appears to be no way to make it invisible. It takes up a chunk of my browser window so that I can't read the part of the pdf it's covering. Is there a way to make it go away while I am continuing to highlight in my pdf?

Every time I try to view a pdf file on Firefox I can view the file but in the lower right 1/4 of the screen I get a graphic of a page with shaded areas representing lines with writing on them. There is a type of pen cursor moving along the line.

This happens with different pdfs - from the internet and from my saved files. This doesn't happen on another computer with Firefox.

I've deleted and redownloaded Firefox an number of times, also tried troubleshoot mode - no improvement. Virus scanned, restarted a number of times.

Pdfs work on edge and chrome and reader with no problem.

I have a screenshot.

Any Ideas? Thanks

Your browser needs immediate attention! I have windows 11. When I visit websites via Firefox and click on a link that takes me to a document, a large pop-up on the lower right side of the screen appears blocking half the page and preventing me from downloading or printing it. The pop-up depicts a cartoon-letter with a highlighter pen traversing its cartoon-text, below which is an enthusiastic missive stating (and I quote): "Now you can highlight your PDFs! With our new highlighter tool, you can read and edit PDFs in one place." Because of this infernal nuisance, I cannot print or download web pages. This has been going on for WEEKS! (That pop-up is USEFUL?! Who thinx up this stuff??!!) Apparently you're having trouble fixing this problem ... I understand--I'll just use Edge or Chrome from now on. Sorry if I woke you.

On my home page i have 2 rows of short cuts. Then the latest news listings. Can I change the types of news listings? For example one story might be from NPR while the next can be from CNN then another from MSNBC. Non of which interests me. Is there away to set sites in the settings to list News and events that I would be interested in? Sites like The Wire, Reuters, NewsMax, RT, The National Desk, etc. So would there be a way to get those headlines? Thanks

While using Dext there is a visual of the uploaded pdf file. Now there is a notice that my Firefox settings need to be changed. Dext does not have instructions for Firefox and I have not yet located the spot in settings to adapt for this. Looking for directions.

Hi, when I work in Xero, the pdf documents will not open. Firefox is up to date and I have wiped all cookied and history. Is there anything else I need to do please?

Thanks Amanda

Recently, whenever I open saved (or sometimes new web) documents in Firefox, a very large pop-up on the lower right side of my screen appears with a cartoon of a pencil scanning a document. Below the cartoon it states "Now you can highlight your PDFs! With our new highlighter tool, you can read and edit PDFs in one place." The pop-up blocks half the view of the document and cannot be minimized or closed. It also prevents accessing (it hides) the "print" option if I want to print/save the page. I have WINDOWS 11 and have looked online for solutions to this problem which always produces the same suggestion: "go to 'settings', click 'privacy & security', check 'block pop-ups', click 'OK'", all of which I've done. I now limit my use of Firefox to streaming videos via amazon, and use Chrome or Edge for anything else I need to do, but I assume Firefox would not be happy to know of the aggravation their browser is causing, forcing users to go elsewhere (or am I the only person having this problem). Thank you in advance for any new suggestions.

Hello,

Since the update I am unable to view pdf within xero and actionstep. These are important programs I require the viewing of the pdf for my employment. Can you let me know if there is a new setting that requires activation or if there has been a change. I have attached an image for you to see that it does not load.

Thank you

Tracy

a few months ago firefox started rendering images funky. I am not sure what changed, it seems to be a setting problem as other computers with FF 135 don't seem to do this. I have not been able to come up with the right search terms to describe the problem. here is a screen shot of the issue.

Hi, Up to the most recent update of Firefox I could preview PDFs within a cloud based software, but when I downloaded them they opened up in my default PDF Viewer.

Since the update the preview PDFs in the software just spin and never show, unless I have the setting in Firefox set to "open in Firefox" then I can see them. But if I have that set, then any PDF I try to open or download will open in a new Tab in Firefox, rather than the PDF viewer, and then I have to save it to be able to open it in the PDF viewer.

However, if I change the setting to be "Use Windows Default Application" they open up just fine in the PDF viewer, but the previews in the cloud based software go back to spinning and not opening.

How do I get back to having both things happen, rather than either / or please?

Many thanks for any help offered Best regards Jen

Every time I open a file that is downloaded the box showing info on the highlight tool comes up and then I have to hover over it and hit escape............I do not want it to open at all so how do I stop it..............

I just had a Firefox update and it stated: Edit PDFs in Firefox. How do I find this feature? I've looked in settings and all things listed from the "hamburger" menu and can't find it.
