I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

Hello, I have Firefox for Android 151.0.4 on a Samsung A50 with Android 9. On the SD card of the device I have several pdf files which can be opened with Adobe Acrobat with no problems. Instead, when I go to the device's file manager, move to that SD card, long-tap on one of those pdf files, tap on the three dots to see more options, choose "Open with" and finally select Firefox, I have that Firefox opens with a "File not found" page and the address bar shows, for instance "content://media/external/file/22098" while the pdf file I tried opening is "/SD Card/Test.pdf".

Is it possible to open local pdf files on my device with Firefox for Android? In the positive case, how can I do it in my case?

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I recently started using Firefox on Android to download and print coloring pages for my kids from websites like https://kleurplatenteprinten.nl/ https://kleurplatenteprinten.nl/ , but sometimes the PDF files either open blank, keep loading forever, or do not download properly.

The same files seem to work normally in Chrome, so I’m wondering if this could be related to Firefox settings, built-in PDF handling, or a mobile download permission issue.

I already tried:

Clearing browser cache Switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data Disabling tracking protection for the site

but the issue still happens occasionally.

Has anyone experienced similar problems with printable PDF pages or downloads in Firefox mobile? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The android version of firefox has a problem the displays a bar asking to download an open pdf whether the pdf is already downloaded or not. There's no option to turn off this bar that ends up blocking a lot of screen space. Maybe I'm missing something. Thanks for looking into this.

There should be an option whether the pdfs should be opened in the app or just DOWNLOAD, because sometimes the pdf is long enough that it takes much time to load and after that we are able to download.

Save as PDF not working from v137 - no file will be created an no error. Started when I had Samsung One UI 6 and now on One UI 7 it is still not working. Tried to reinstall - no help.

I just searched for a pdf editor on my android phone and it came up with pdf editor instructions....but none of the options appear on my Firefox on android... Why not please?

I am using Android 14 and Firefox for Android version 134.0.1 (Build #2016067655).

How do I edit PDF files in the Firefox Android app? I chose the Settings category at random when I entered this post because I couldn't find one that was applicable to the question.

I did a lot of searching in the Firefox Android Community and Firefox Android Support areas, as well as Internet searches but I couldn't find anything that was specific to Android.

Thanks!
