Seburo, I can't see the content on Nightly, is that expected?

(In reply to Marco Castelluccio [:marco] from comment #2)

Seburo, I can't see the content on Nightly, is that expected?

I can explain why that happens.

The "Customize this article" version picker for KB articles hasn't been updated yet to include Version 107 so when you visit the https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-or-choose-another-viewer article in Firefox 107 Nightly, you will see content for the "default" Firefox version, which is still set to version 102 on SUMO.

The article was updated to show the new content for Firefox version 106 and above. You can see the content in Firefox 107 Nightly if you change the Firefox version under '''Customize this article''' to 106.

Oh ok, thanks. I now see a "Annotate" subsection.
Could we move it to be a bit more prominent, like the "Fill out forms in PDF Viewer" section?

I added a comment to the discussion thread about Firefox 106 updates which was started by another editor. See:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-or-choose-another-viewer/discuss/10953 [Fx106] Needs update

In the meantime, anyone with a SUMO account can submit an edit to the article and it will be reviewed.

P.S. The https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly article has a "PDF Viewer" section that hasn't been updated yet. There's also a "PDF Viewer keyboard shortcuts" section of the https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-or-choose-another-viewer article. Should this bug be reopened?

For the record, the issue where Firefox Nightly users see an old/outdated version of a KB article is bug 1743073. I added a comment to that bug.

Document updated as requested.
