I need a PDF viewer which UI can be accessed via localhost so I can open it in Firefox.
I need a more powerful PDF viewer with easier jumping to sections, comments, and highlighting.
You must log in or # to comment.
How about Sumatra PDF?
How to open it’s UI in browser ?
Sorry I missed that part. I don’t know if it has that functionality.
it is a native app. https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf
It is the most performant pdf viewer on windows (that i know of). it uses libmupdf
Came here to suggest SumatraPDF as well
Why not just let Firefox open the PDF? It will read them on its own. Is it missing a feature you need?

Do you need the pdf to open in Firefox/browser?
If not, PDF-XChange Editor is a pretty good advanced standalone program. It comes in free and paid versions

Some person on the fediverse has made an open source PDF editor… their other posts say its browser based. I haven’t tried it but this seems to fit your request.
You want a PDF viewer that’s accessible from Firefox, but you don’t want to use the built in Firefox PDF viewer?
If you really need it accessible from the browser, you’re probably looking at spinning up a Selkies docker container. That’ll get you an entire desktop environment in a web browser.
