My attached PDF has multiple check boxes with same name and different value.

It works correctly when opened using Adobe reader or chrome etc.. and only shows 1 checkbox B checked correctly.

If I open the same PDF using open with > Firefox then it incorrectly shows all checkboxs checked instead of only B.

It showed correctly in 64.0 (64 bit) firefox browser version's built in PDF viewer and it seems have issue in latest 84.0.2 (64 bit) firefox browser version's built in PDF viewer.

Is it a known issue ? Are we planning to fix it ?
