Crashes every time I select print or print preview. Just started today. I use Windows XP on a corporate network and printing works fine with other applications.

Hey jjbeerl,

Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "shift" while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems.

There is also a lot of useful stuff in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) Knowledge Base article. If you've recently upgraded, you might want to check out this article as well.

Hopefully this helps!

Thanks for your reply. Safe Mode made no difference. I will try the knowledge base articles. Thanks.

No solutions found yet, but have discovered I can print my local intranet pages and mozilla.org pages. So far, everything else crashes firefox.

Does it help if you use another page format or change the print scale?

Thanks, but that did noot help. Could it have anything to do with the fact that my hard drive is nearly 100% full? Does the printing require some kind of temp file that it is unable to create because there is no room?
