The "fillable" function does not work when I access such a pdf on Firefox. For example, go to http://www.lamusicalsalon.org/ and scroll down to the link for 2019 Membership Form. When I click on it, the pdf appears, but none of the lines can be typed on. Since I maintain this website and uploaded a fillable pdf, I know that it is fillable.

Unfortunately, the Firefox PDF viewer doesn't support filling a form in the PDF file.

Firefox would normally detect that the PDF file contains a form and warn you about this and offer to open the file in another application.
