Interesting, I'll take a look at it. I haven't used firefox as my
default browser in a while. On desktop and laptop I use a combination of
Eww and Qutebrowser, which is more keyboard oriented. I have Firefox
almost relegated to negotiations with the Spanish government, such as
taxes and little else. On mobile I use Brave browser. And lately I've
noticed that it's not as hard as I thought to navigate with Eww-mode in
Termux/Emacs by touch! :-)

BTW, I have found another free app to annotate PDF on Android, KOReader:
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.koreader.launcher.fdroid/ It is
mainly intended for e-ink screen e-readers. It's under active
development as well (https://github.com/koreader), and even offers
builds and tutorials for installing it on specific non-Android devices
(Kobo, reMarkable, etc.).

I have tried to make some annotations on a PDF to open it later on the
desktop pc. Annotations are correctly read by pdf-tools, Atril, Evince,
Okular, etc. And they are also exported correctly to Org via the
org-noter function org-noter-create-skeleton, which I didn't know about
and is tremendously useful.

Best regards,
