Hi. This is more of a bug report than a question, but after new update our company got a big problem: we print from firefox, but we had it set up so as we open the PDF document it would open directly into Adobe Reader (and then print). After update this is no longer available, altough the settings say clearly "open with Adobe/windows application". Is there a possible solution? Thanks for the answer

I used Quickfile for my accounts. Until the most recent Firefox update, I could create invoices within the software which seems to use Firefox to create them. this no longer works - within firefox it looks like it is creating the file, but doesn't seem to create a file that is able to be opened. Therefore I am using the Print Preview within Firefox, and selecting Print/Save to PDF and this works ok, but is another couple of clicks which is annoying.

Whilst Firefox may not be at fault, the issue isn't there on other browsers and it happened with the big update last week.

The "New" PDF previewer sucks, can we revert to the old one that actually worked ?! It's a "Preview" , maybe don't try to open everything and BE a PDF program inside the browser, the whole point is to get a "Quick" look so you can decide to open , or, delete it ! This is as Bad as MS Edge trying to take over for PDF's , Revert this change, or Give us a way to choose to use the old way ! Thank you.

I use Firefox to read a lot of PDFs. Some of the documents have their own internal sections embedded into them. Because of this, Firefox PDF organizes the page numbers in a strange way. Instead of just page 1 through page 112, each section will have its own numbers starting over from 1. Thus, when I try to skip to page 3, it doesn't actually bring me to page 3 of the entire document, it brings me to page 3 of whatever section I'm in.

A large part of my job is digging through documents, and I don't have time to try and figure out which section of the document I'm in. I need page 3 to be the actual page 3. And I refuse to go back to Edge or Adobe.

I know there's a way to fix this in about:config because I've done it before on a previous computer, but I recently got a new computer and all my settings are gone. How to I turn on just regular page numbers in about:config?

Firefox just updated to 157.0 and will no longer open PDFs in a default viewer even when I change the settings. My setting say they are set to open in Mac Viewer, but continue to open in browser. I even tried to set it to open in Adobe still opens in my browser.

After the last Firefox update, I can no longer open download files (PDFs) from websites in Mac Default Viewer. I have tried the other settings such as open with Adobe, Ask, etc., but they continue to only open in the browser. For work, I download hundreds of documents from a county site, so having them open in my default viewer when I click the link was very useful for a productive work flow. I have tried to open files with my viewer from other sites, but it fails with those too. My tech team tried to help but seems to be a Firefox issue. Settings - Downloads - Files and Applications - PDF - Use Preview (or anything else) is not working. Firefox 157.01, Apple M2 Pro, Tahoe 26.6.2.
