When viewing a PDF where it's security setting does not allow printing, Firefox's PDF preview still allows the PDF to be printed.

Please fix this.

hi dwight.funk, the no-print permission isn't an effective security feature but a mere placebo. there are other pdf-readers out there which won't follow these restrictions and free online tools where you can scrap any document of this no-print permission.

there has been ongoing discussions by mozilla's developers if these permissions should be honored, but in my judgement its rather unlikely that this will land someday (also because firefox has a focus on openness and user-control). the pdf viewer in firefox renders the documents as websites & there also is no way to protect a website from being printed... see bug 792816 on bugzilla.mozilla.org for further reference.

In a controlled corporate environment it is more than a mere placebo.

If Firefox aspires to more than "just another browser" they would be best served by growing up and getting serious.

For the time being, if it matters to one of our customer's, we will recommend they not use Firefox.
