In Firefox version 149, there is an issue with print preview behavior for HTML <select> elements. When opening print preview, all <option> items inside a dropdown are displayed and included in the print output.

This behavior differs from Firefox 148, where only the selected option is rendered correctly during print preview.

Steps to reproduce:

- Create an HTML page with a <select> dropdown containing multiple <option> elements. - Select one of the options. - Open print preview (Ctrl + P).

Expected result: Only the selected option should be visible and printed.

Actual result: All options inside the <select> element are displayed and printed.

Impact: This issue breaks the layout of printed documents and makes forms difficult to read, especially when dropdowns contain many options.

from the last update, I have been unable to print any emails from either my gmail or webmail accounts. I cannot find any answers on line. Please can I get some suggestions? Thank you

Hello, After Firefox removed about:config option from Beta and Nightly, can you tell me how to remove Header and Footer when I print documents? I don't want to include URL, dates, times etc. but a clean document or file?

After I print a page, Firefox seems to remember most of the options I chose for next time.

For example, if I print using some custom margins, Firefox will default to those same custom margins the next time I print a page. The same for duplex options - Firefox remembers that I want to print double-sided and with "Flip on short edge".

However, it doesn't remember my "pages per sheet" settings. It's annoying because I always print 2 pages per sheet, but Firefox defaults to 1. So I need to change that setting to 2 every time I print. If I forget, I wastefully use twice as much paper.

I've checked in about:config and `print.save_print_settings` is set to `true`. Like I say, most of my settings do get saved, but not "pages per sheet".

Is there anything I can do to set a persistent preference for this?

When trying to print something using Firefox it automatically wants to print 2 copies, despite refreshing, rebooting, reinstalling and checking browser settings. This issue does not occur with other web browsers such as Microsoft Edge.

How can I customize the headers and footers of a print job? Specifically, I want to change where the header and footer info appear on the page, i.e., left corner, center, right corner. I'm using Firefox Browser version 141.03. Under Print > Options, the only option is to show or not show the headers and footers. There is no option to EDIT them. Thank you.

Ffx 147.0 / Mac OS Tahoe 26.2 / HP printers

Print dialog page margin custom values appear in mm only. No option for inches here.

As recommended years ago for earlier Mac OS and Ffx versions, I've tried the about:config dialog. Changed several universal page margin unit settings from 1 (mm) to 0 (inches), and also or my specific printers, for top, bottom, left and right. Also have tried to disable "unwriteable margins" settings, universal and printer-specific.

But the Print dialog Margins|custom (mm) seems to be hard wired, so not responding to changes in configuration settings.

Also have ensured that all Mac system measurement specs (Language, Region) are US and not metric.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

My question is the subject indicated above. If the answer is yes, how can I permit access to the IP address

Thank you Andre P. pilonera@zohomailcloud.ca

(April 2025) So suddenly, after my most recent FF update, if I have a document open in FF and hit "print" and choose "use system dialog box" (or whatever the exact wording is), Firefox Print opens up instead of my usual system dialog box. Why is this happening, and is there a setting I can change to DEFAULT to the regular SYSTEM PRINT dialog box instead.

I do not like FF Print. It prints one page at a time w/ like a minute pause between pages in a multi page document. And when I need more settings, it opens up the HP dialog box anyway, so wtf is the point? I just want my system dialog box back where all my print settings are in one place.

Thank you for any help!

My local newspaper has gone only digital, which I actually like. But, there is an option on the bottom of the reader that is available when using Edge and is not available when I use Firefox. A mouseOver on Edge displays "Print or clip". Yes, it's a snipping tool and/or print option. But it really right-sizes the snipped area perfectly for printing crossword puzzles. The Windows snipping tool (Windows 11) makes it too small so I need to go to Edge for only this one task. My first preference would be to get the function on the Firefox screen, and my second choice would be to figure out how to use the Windows snipping tool to print without leaving Firefox.

The icon(s) of which I speak is the first of the four on the bottom right of the Edge screenshot ( the first screenshot).
