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. cheers, Stewart
