I have looked at some of the comments about Firefox automatically opening pdf docs. Myu concern is twofold. Most importantly the password in the doc is somehow being overriden; that is a severe security issuen for me. Destroys the whole concept of security. Makes me very uncomfortable and may discontnue using Forefox after more than 15 years. Secondly this caught me by surprise; it only occurred for the first time this morning. How can i overcome this to prevent Firefox from performing merely as a browser?

When viewing pdf files created from MS Word (.docx) documents and sent to me I see white lines across some images but not all. This happens with Firefox on Windows 11 and linux mint (various versions). It is present on the images from the file as received and after uploading to a website. The images are OK if viewed using Opera or other browsers but the same problem is present on Thunderbird. The file below has the problem on 2 images when viewed on Firefox. https://www.kass.org.uk/Documents/NewsletterFrom251114/20260304%20March%20Newsletter.pdf I have caused the writer of the article a lot of trouble because I blamed her file which seems to be OK. Can you help? Thanks Brian

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.

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.

1. Have read some recent questions which are similar. 2. My current Firefox is 151.04 (64 bit) I use Windows 11 Home 3. My problem relates to payroll in QuickBooks and has only occurred for payroll run after 20th May 2026. PDF's for payrun dated 20th May 2026 open with no problem. Any payroll reports after that date fail.

     I download payrun report and the page in firefox browser tab shows a 0 of 0 display (not the normal report)
      The file is sitting in browser download, as well as my C drive file explorer under 'downloads'
      When I double click, or highlight and select open, or highlight and select open with - my SodaPDF app displays a message indicating it failed to open a file.

4. Queried QuickBooks who believe it is a compatibility error.

5. Queried app provider (Soda PDF) and have been doing checks with them, but not able to resolve at this time.

6. Last resort went into QuickBooks using Microsoft Edge - file opened in SodaPDF with no problem.

As my preference is Mozilla browser, would like to have resolved ASAP, otherwise I need to use another browser. Await your advice - Kind regards

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.

When filling in the PDF documents, at each section/line I move too, the font reverts back to the super large size, without being prompted too. Is there a way to set the font, so it remains the same, unless prompted? When attempting to adjust the font, it goes from super large to super small, any suggestions to set the font in between these two sizes?

    • I opened up the document from my email and began working from there. Should I use a PDF program and not from the email?**

I recently noticed that EVERY pdf I open for reading is being saved in my computer's Downloads folder! DESPITE my Settings "Ask where to save files before downloading" and "Ask to open or save files." I am enrolled in an online certification program: There is LOTS of reading. LOTS of information being shared through the class portal. I just discovered this mess a couple of weeks ago.

Today, I added a check mark to Other Files under Settings: "Delete private window downloads on close." I'm hoping this will resolve the problem. Am I missing something??? WHY is my longtime browser doing me like this?

FYI: I'm using the Windows 11 OS on my six-year-old laptop. My Firefox (152.0.5) stays current.

I use Firefox as my default program for opening PDFs. But if I try to open more than one at the same time it will always leave one out and instead open a "New Tab" that I don't need. Can't figure out why or how to fix it.

Example: If I check (windows 11) files A, B, C, D, and E. It will open A, B, D, & E and a "New Tab" and leave out C.

Any Solutions?

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
