When a pdf file is opened in a tab, the automatic scroll function from the pad does not work in the other tabs, but only for the particular PDF tab.

Hi NSHS,

Have you checked to see if your PDF add-on is up to date? You should take a look at the View PDF files using Firefox’s built-in viewer Knowledge Base article. There is a lot of good information in there. You should try both of the suggested PDF add-ons to see if that fixes the issue.

Hopefully this helps!
