Hi there, I have a PDF file that is set to display the bookmarks/TOC panel when opened. When I open the file in Adobe Reader on my computer, this works fine. However, when I open the file in the built-in PDF viewer for Firefox, the bookmarks/TOC are collapsed. Does the viewer just ignore the file's "display bookmarks" setting? Thank you for your help with this, C.

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

There is a "toggle" in the Firefox PDF reader that needs to be used all the time to view the TOC. That part of the built-in PDF reader needs further development to have it follow the "display bookmarks" setting in PDF files.
