◆ JavaScript is supported in PDF forms
A PDF form is a PDF in which input fields are set like an input form, and some of these PDF forms use JavaScript to check the accuracy of input data. I am. Starting with Firefox 88, it supports the behavior of JavaScript embedded in such PDF forms.
◆ Change window.name settings to prevent tracking
Firefox continues to work to prevent tracking user data between different domains, but by using a property called window.name, when transitioning to another domain, such as 'who accessed the user' etc. There was a loophole that I could send the information of.
From Firefox 88, it has been changed to clear the window.name property when navigating to a page in another domain.
◆ The unit of margin at the time of printing is localized.
Until now, it was necessary to set in 'inch' units even when using it in Japan, but from Firefox 88 it is possible to set in 'millimeter' units.
