Firefox Opening Up Webpages As Printer-Friendly. How To Turn Off

more options

When I right-click on a link and "open link in new tab" Firefox sometimes opens up the requested page in a printer-friendly version of that page. This does not happen all the time and if I repeat it may open the link in a new tab as a normal page. I dont want the links of the new tabs to open as printer friendly. Its annoying because it doesnt happen all the time. This happens more when I do this on Twitter and Ebay.

It sounds like Firefox is having some problems loading the style sheets and doing a complete rendering of the page.

Next time this happens, could you try reloading the page using Ctrl+Shift+r to bypass old cached files and see whether that gets all the parts in place?

You shouldn't need to do that often...
