This appears to mean that Firefox on Linux can open and fill those pesky Canadian Government forms that were created with Adobe Livecycle. These used to appear as "*Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document*." but now open as proper forms.
This must have been non-trivial to implement, because even Adobe couldn't create XFA forms outside the Windows-only Livecycle.
Now - - - - how long until this hits firefox-esr? - - - - musing.
If I have questions regarding some problems with firefox - - - - would you, or anyone else out there in gtalug land, know of a way to achieve a 'conversation' rather than a bug report. Or is a bug report the only way of having such 'conversation'. TIA
