Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1586221

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, enhancement)

Description

[Patrik Krajcovic [:patricek] (she/her)]

Attachment: FreeFormTextEdge.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:93.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/93.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open PDF file in Firefox,
2. Search for Add text button,
3. Add text button missing.

Actual results:

In Firefox, PDF reader cannot add free form text box (it doesn't support it).
Add text button is missing, and you cannot just add text box and insert text
(I will add image from Edge chromium for better illustration)
(Note: Edge chromium is one of the few browsers that will be support this in future)

Expected results:

Firefox should support Free form text boxes like in Edge dev chromium
