In the past, I was able to freehand highlight PDFs that did not recognize the Text. I was using this function this week; maybe the newest Firefox update is at fault. Without this, half of my documents are not really usable in Firefox. Everything else works. If it recognizes the text, I have no problems; the pencil tool also works just fine.
I have Firefox selected in settings to be used to open pdf files, however they still open in Adobe

Starting a couple of weeks ago I haven't been able to open PDFs in my Firefox browser. Although there are other pdf viewers, Firefox has features that I use that the others don't. I've tried all the various ideas I've found elsewhere online but none worked. I submitted a ticket to our IT helpdesk, but they say it's a Mozilla Firefox issue. The error message isn't helpful at all, considering there is no web server involved.
I get the error below:
Access to the file was denied
Firefox can’t connect to the server at local file What can you do about it?
The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

In February this year I started having an issue with reading pdf formatted statements from my bank' (bank and personal information removed). Initially I thought it was some change at the bank so I sent the letter below to my bank.
Further experimenting with Microsoft Edge and Firefox leads me to believe the issue may be with recent changes to firefox. The attached jpg file shows the problem, though not a solution.
I would be curious to know if there is some (new) setting in Firefox to correct the problem.

re: document access on site
You have evidently made some changes in your account display and I have to tell you there are issues with it.
Previously the account document came up as PDF. Today I accessed the current statement and immediately noticed the change in display format.
I usually do two things here. First I print the document. The print button worked as expected. Next I SAVE a copy for future reference. The download button DID NOT WORK.
I had to use the print save to file function. This is where I found the problem. I saw this when I checked my print queue as well. Instead of PDF the document is now PDF.js viewer.
I have to ask why you went to java script when the original PDF format worked properly every time?
On the plus side, my pdf viewer still reads the saved file. It is the unnecessary print to file step to which I object.
I am not at all happy with this change and would encourage you to return to the previous process. Since it was NOT BROKE I am at a lost to understand WHY YOU FIXED IT.
