#12This is a good feature that I didn't know about as a Firefox user, can't they get a little bit aggressive, just like MSFT when you want to use Edge to download Chrome, and put a big arrow near the edit button the first time you open a PDF in Firefox? or something similar so people would know about it.

#13Does anyone have a suggestion for PDF redacting? It's the only thing I need Acrobat for. And when I need it, it's very important.

#14I tried this feature in somewhat recent past and some added text was printing in different positions than shown in the editor. Actually I discovered it was in the wrong position already in the "preview" (not sure what that meant, there's probably some preview feature). Also when opening the edited PDF in Sumatra, Polish characters (ąęółśćżń) were bugged.
So beware before you spend a lot of time on a single document just to discover it doesn't quite work!

Their largest donor is Google, so I assume there are some strings attached to that money. Firefox is also the only browser that doesn't support "Add to Home Screen" for web apps, which you wouod think would be a no-brainer.

I regularly use Nitro PRO for redaction. It's proprietary but I don't know of any OSS tools that focus on redaction.

What platform you mean? With that lack of add to home screen? I use that sometimes on Firefox on Android.

#18The Firefox PDF reader is atrocious. Opening any non-trivial PDF causes it to crash even on an i9 with 32GB of RAM. I guess this is because it's rendering the pdf to HTML.

Huh, I guess “non-trivial PDF” is so wide a spectrum as to become meaningless, but FWIW I’ve never had any such problems on much lower hardware specs. I am, however, only talking about whole books, long-ish forms, brochures with print-quality images and graphs and that sort of thing. Since PDFs can theoretically contain anything under the sun, are you perhaps talking about more exotic use cases (interactivity, animation, idk)? Or just more excessive file sizes?
Re: Edit PDFs for Free with Firefox PDF Editor
#20I appreciate there is good PDF support in Firefox now, but "Edit PDFs" is a bit misleading because it's only annotations. You cannot, for example, remove or edit existing text.
