Why Sign PDFs in Firefox with SigPDF?
Firefox is the browser of choice for privacy-conscious users worldwide. Built by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation, Firefox has a long history of putting user privacy first — with features like Enhanced Tracking Protection, strict cookie policies, and transparent open-source development. SigPDF shares this privacy-first philosophy.
Firefox includes pdf.js, a built-in PDF viewer that can display documents and fill basic form fields. However, pdf.js does not support adding signatures to PDFs. To sign a document, Firefox users previously had to install an add-on, download a desktop application, or upload their PDF to a cloud-based service. SigPDF eliminates all of that — it runs directly in your Firefox tab with no installation required.
Firefox Add-ons vs SigPDF
While Firefox's add-on ecosystem includes PDF tools, using add-ons for document signing has drawbacks:
- Privacy risks — Many add-ons require permissions to access your browsing data or upload files to external servers for processing.
- Maintenance burden — Add-ons need to be updated, and incompatible updates can break functionality after Firefox releases.
- Performance impact — Each add-on consumes memory and can affect Firefox's performance.
- Trust issues — Add-on ownership can change, potentially introducing unwanted behavior.
SigPDF avoids all of these issues. It is a standard web page you visit when you need it. Your PDF is processed entirely within Firefox using client-side JavaScript. No data leaves your device.
Privacy That Matches Firefox's Values
If you use Firefox, you likely care about privacy. SigPDF respects that. Your PDF is loaded into Firefox's memory, processed with client-side JavaScript, and the signed document is generated locally on your device. No file is ever uploaded to SigPDF's servers or any third party. This client-side architecture also means SigPDF works even when your internet connection is slow or intermittent — once the page loads, the signing tool operates entirely offline.
