How to download rendered PDF

When following a link to a PDF file, if its not explicitly set as attachment, there doesn’t seem to be a way to download it after it’s rendered on the page. Safari allows an option to save it to files though. Is there any workaround for this?

Workaround: Do not open the PDF link. If you touch and lightly hold the link, you’ll get a popup sheet that gives you an option to choose "Download Link". Saved downloads will show up in the iOS file browser App.

I do recommend to open a feature request. Simply send your comment via email to ios-feedback@mozilla.com or go to Firefox > Settings > Send feedback. Even better open a feature request on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org

Bonjour, Il y a une astuce. J’ouvre le lien (ou une image par exemple) puis je fais une impression. A la vue de la miniature de la page à imprimer, il faut l’agrandir avec 2 doigts puis partager et choisir copier vers Acrobat.

C’est laborieux.... Moi j’ai une imprimante brother..

Hello, I realize I am probably not in the correct thread, however I am looking for help regarding the Firefox PDF viewer for IPAD. My specific problem is that page destinations are not recognized. The destinations are recognized and work well on Windows Firefox default PDF viewer. Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Thanks in Advance, -Eric
