When scaling in page setup, 1st page prints correctly, but subsequent pages do not scale correctly/too large for the paper, parts of the text missing

When trying to print in Firefox, and when scaling the page size in page setup, the first page prints correctly, but subsequent pages do not scale correctly and are too large for the paper, with parts of the text are being cut off at the top and right. This is not fixed by checking or un-checking the "ignore scaling/shrink to fit page width" in the print window, or by changing the scaling%.
I am running Firefox 15.0.1, on Mac OS 10.5.8.
The same problem happens in the print preview and if I save the print as a .pdf
I have tried all the fixes in the how to's and others in various forums with no improvement.
This happens every time I try to print a document scaled up or down only in Firefox.

After updating to 15.0.1 this afternoon on a Win 7 64-bit machine, I restarted Firefox. Immediately Comod started showing warnings that firefox.exe was not a recognized program and was asking to access plug-in container, SVC host, and other things. Weird. So I look in Comodo and Explorer and it says the process is running from this path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\updated\firefox.exe
Except there is no Updated folder. This happens even when clicking the firefox.exe file in the Mozilla Firefox folder.
Is this normal?? It seems not correct.

When I open Facebook in Firefox, I can't view messages or use the drop-down menus in the top toolbar.

These problems only occur when I access Facebook in Firefox. The same problems don't occur in Chrome.
I can view my Facebook message inbox, but when I try to open a message/message thread, it doesn't load. I just see the loading icon.
Similarly, if I try to use the icons in the top menu bar (notification icons on the left, arrow on the right), I don't get a drop-down if I click on them. If I click the notification icons on the top left, I should get a drop-down showing the recent activity, but instead it just switches to the icon showing that I don't have any new activity. If I click the arrow on the right, I should get a drop-down with account options, but instead it just takes me straight to the "General Account Settings" page.

It was wroking perfeclty fine for months then a pop up window came up saying firefox needed update. Didn't care, was in a hurry. Closed it. And...the crashing begins.
No toolbar, only adblcok plus. I've already updated, reinstalled everything to do with Firefox and deleted Firefox and the folder it was in entirely and reinstalled it. STILL...crashes..
Here's a link to everything I've tried.
http://forums.techguy.org/all-other-software/1067178-firefox-crashing-suggestions-3.html
When it crashes the crash report comes up but there's no error!
If you can find a solution I'd be amazed.

i updated to firefox from 15.0 to 15.0.1 using the 'About Firefox' dialogbox. under 'Uninstall or change a program' in windows 7 x64 i now have both firefox versions 15.0 and 15.0.1 listed as being installed.
also i had previously disabled the 'Use a background service to install updates' option and uninstalled 'Mozilla Maintenance Service'. now the use background service option has been re-enabled and the 'Mozilla Maintenance Service' was reinstalled. i really like how mozilla has zero respect for the fact that i dont want some useless service installed on my computer just so i dont have to click a UAC prompt once a month.
i am probably just going to uninstall both firefox's and the maintenance server then reinstall firefox. are both versions supposed to be listed there or is this a bug? and why was the background service reinstalled and the option enabled when i specifically uninstalled and disabled it previously?
edit: i just checked my other computers. 1 has windows 7 x64 with the maintenance service installed and the other has xp with the maintenance server uninstalled/disabled. both computers only list 15.0.1 as being installed and the maintenance service wasnt reinstalled on my xp computer.

Have Mozilla as my home page.. tower.. xp and this continues to interrupt Everything.. re-downloaded Firefox, but this Claro continues to reappear.. Other than annoying, I believe it to be intrusive and maybe a threat.. Do you have any suggestions about how to remove it..? I've exhausted all internet 'solutions', none of which work.. When I open the home page.. Mozilla.. I get this Claro Search.. I don't want Claro involved, I trust Mozilla. Many thanks Neal

There are so many useless replies in other postings that didn't work that I decided to write the manual method for removal. Wading thru a confusing pile of posts is absurd. I hope this posts makes it easier for people trying to remove it.
First, the removal tool at AVG Secure Search doesn't work. It is bs. They even say it may take multiple reboots before it is removed. That is absurd.
Here is manual removal method.
0) Take note of the exact day and time AVG was installed. Write it down.
1) Stop ?ToolBarUpdate process
2) Delete AVG Secure Search directory in
Program Files (86x) Program Files (86x)\Common ProgramData ProgramData\Common
3) Do a find in regedit. Delete any major entry containing "AVG Secure Search".
4) Search your local drive for any remaining file created around time that AVG program was installed. Look at properties attributes for the file. See if it is created by AVG. Delete it if so.
There may be an avg@toolbar directory left also.
5) You may as well remove anything in Firefox as well. Check the directories again 24 hours later to make sure the AVG Secure Search doesn't exist or didn't reinstall
You should be done
