Firefox Doesn't Show Square Red Radio Buttons

Hello All.

I've created an application that has radio buttons on it.  The person who will be dealing with it after it is printed out, wanted the radio buttons to stand out so they are square and filled in red when clicked.  Works fine in Edge – square and red filled.  In Firefox they are round and a black dot in the middle, not completely filled.

Is there something I can do in Acrobat to make it work in Firefox or is this just a Firefox issue?
Thank you.

Web browsers are poor PDF readers.
Would you expect Acrobat to read HTML pages as well as they do?

I didn't think Acrobat read web pages so I've never tried.  

Or are you just being sarcastic?  I can't tell.

Acrobat can convert HTML pages into PDF, but if you'd tested this function (which hasn't changed in over 20 years) you'd have realised straight away that there was a sense of humour in my answer.

Not all browsers have same compatibility for PDF files, so I believe it's Firefox issue.

Did you try to use checkboxes instead of radio buttons?

I don't know how to make checkboxes "either or" like radio buttons so I did not try.

To make checkboxes mutually exclusive, give them same name but different export value.
