I am no longer able to open in Mac Preview or save when hitting Command + P, then 'print using system dialog'. It will only print instead. For instance, I save certain web pages as PDFs using the print dialog and now it will only print when trying to use either the save or preview options. Command + P, print using system dialog, then I choose either save as PDF or open in Mac Preview, but as soon as I do one of these it will only print. I am able to use save in the drop-down list of printers, but I need to be able to open in Mac Preview.

Firefox screws up showing .pdfs. The first view is fine but scrolling seems to overprint the first view without erasing it, if that makes sense, sorta like a double exposure. I can't get a screen cap either, which might just mean it's not a firefox issue at all, but I can view and screen cap .pdfs from any other application. I'm running Debian 12 up to date. When I need to view a .pdf I use Chromium, but I do prefer Firefox.

I often save to PDF or mark text then transfer it into a document. Firefox renders many letter combinations as ligatures: ff, fi, ffi, fl, and more. I don't want ligatures. The cures proposed have involved forbidding pages to use their own fonts. Is there another way?

I often open PDF links in Firefox. I can choose to open the PDF in a Firefox tab. If I leave the tab open and restart my computer, or look for that tab sometime in the future, I often see a page that says File not found (see picture). Somehow the page is being cleared out of the cache. Not sure if Firefox is doing this, Windows or some other program. Any ideas to keep these pages so I can see them in the future?

I opened a new window and dragged a PDF into it. While the icons in the upper right do not include Edit, I just went to the field I needed to change (an alarm permit renewal, change of email). A box opened "somewhat" over where I clicked, and I was able to enter the new email, but I could not delete the old one. After saving and opening in Acrobat, both emails are written over each other, making both unreadable.

I cannot highlight my old email in the original form in order to select Delete. When I type my new one, a trash can appears, but that is for deleting what I just entered.

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

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.

How does the in browser PDF viewer remembers save location for different documents?

When viewing a PDF in Firefox the URL bar indicates the file was downloaded to a temporary folder. If I then select "Save" from the PDF toolbar; or if I right click and select "Save page as" it opens a save dialog to the location I previously saved the same category of PDF to. For example I have separate folders for invoices, if the PDF is my electricity invoice it somehow knows and opens the electricity folder. If it is a water invoice, it automatically opens the water folder.

Whilst this is indeed quite handy, I do not understand how Firefox is doing this; nor do I understand whether this may be a privacy risk in some circumstances and should therefore be configurable.

Whenever I open up PDFs within the Firefox browser, they have a black background and the text and images do not appear. I can copy the text and images out of the pdf and into a word document and it works out fine. Also opening it up on other applications works out fine. Attached is what happens when I open up a known working pdf in Firefox. The browser version is the current version, 135.0.

When printing a PDF with custom page ranges, the footer text in the print preview (see image) does not match the actual page. As shown in the example image, if I want to print pages 2-16, the preview indicating page 4 is actually page 5.

So, if I want to print with a very custom range, such as 2-4, 6-10, 12-14, 16, it will be very confusing and will take longer to adjust.

And I also print custom ranges like this very often for daily tasks. I’m not sure if this is a bug or just a minor adjustment needed in Firefox’s coding. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello all,

I know this feature is brand new and awesome! I have a question about the statement below from the FAQ.

What does the statement "When editing with Firefox, your documents generally stay on your local device" mean? I am just wondering about the "generally" portion.

I sometimes have to edit sensitive documents and want to make sure that this editor is a viable option. Will there be a prompt if the file has to be uploaded to a server?

Just some security concerns.

Thanks in advance for your help.
