User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:86.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/86.0

Steps to reproduce:

When viewing a PDF file in Firefox, only a limited number of zooming factors are available (e.g. 50%, 75%, 100%, etc.). It would be great to also allow the user to enter a level of zoom manually, as it is sometime convenient, depending on the size of the screen and viewed content.

The expected behaviour might be that when clicking the down arrow next to the level of zoom, a list of discrete values appears and can be selected (as it is currently the case). But that double-clicking the value itself opens a text field where the user can enter a custom level of zoom (say anywhere between 10-1600% for instance).

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::PDF Viewer' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → PDF Viewer

-|+ zoom out/zoom in buttons in front of Zoom Level progresses from 10% to 1000% so you can use them as a workaround until (or if) this gets fixed.
