User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:142.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/142.0
Steps to reproduce:
I use a Wacom Intuos Pro to write on all my PDF's and websites. For a long time, I used microsoft edge. The built-in PDF editor tool allowed me to do my assignments by writing on them as if they were paper. But since switching to firefox's PDF editing tool, the pen pressure doesn't work whatsoever. I tried using Kami (a document editing website) and it still didn't work. I'm on a desktop computer with no known bugs/special conditions. When I reopen firefox, my mouse works on the pdf editor tool, but not my pen.
Actual results:
The lines don't show up at all, or they will appear as straight. It's as if someones constantly holding down the ruler tool while I try to write.
Expected results:
My pen strokes should appear normal. It should look like human handwriting. I know it is not an issue with my tablet since I tested it on Microsoft edge and another drawing software - this is 100% an issue with Firefox.

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

Can you try https://patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/tracker/multi-touch-tracker-pointer-hud-pep.html and see whether the page detects the pressure properly? Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply, I was at school. I tried and it seems to be tracking properly? I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like. Here's an image:

Ehrmmmmm... that's certainly not how it's supposed to work (it's supposed to show only a single marker for each pointer), and the pointer is not being detected as a pen.
Do you remember whether you ever set some configuration to a non-default value, like turning off Windows Ink (apparently a common source of problem)?

I did turn off windows ink, and I set my tablet application to firefox. I also tried with windows ink enabled, no application selected, different mapping.. and I was still getting the same issue no matter what setting.
Might want to turn on windows ink and reboot before trying?

I turned on windows ink again and then rebooted and it seems to be working now. I don't exactly know what went wrong given that windows ink was on originally when I had first tried using firefox, and turning it off was an attempt to fix the solution. But as long as it works LOL. I turned off windows ink to try reproducing the issue and my pen stopped working, so issue solved I suppose.

Ironic though because most pen problems are tied to windows ink being enabled in the first place...
