I use a program called Ultimate Guitar Tabs. It is fantastic for finding chord sheets for playing guitar songs and being able to download them as a PDF file with the lyrics and chords shown. Unfortunately I have tried doing this simple press of a button save as PDF in Firefox and all I get is a colored screen either blue purple red etc and no PDF. I have tried the exact same thing in Google Chrome and it does it flawlessly. I don't want to use Google if I don't have to, but at this stage I have to and would be pleased if Firefox could address this problem and make life easy again. I updated Firefox today and everything seems ok except for this PDF problem. I imagine their will be other people affected by this and it may not seem like a big deal but Ultimate Guitar Tabs is the industry standard for teaching people how to play songs on guitar and is used by most muso's world wide to teach students how to play specific songs. Please note It affects both Linux Mint (My main system) and windows 11 (My Laptop). If Google chrome can do it on both Linux & Windows 11 I am sure you should be able to address this problem.

Please advise asap if you need more info etc.

We recently had an update on our printer drivers and somehow this has swapped settings from the previous system print dialogue to "Firefox - Print". The Firefox print dialogue does not have print preview and I need to be able to see a print preview. I've noticed that this was an issue in the past and people have solved it by going into about:config and setting print.tab_modal.enabled to false, but this hasn't worked for me. I am asking this question because if I can't find a solution I will have to switch to Chrome so I can see a print preview and I would rather not. If there is another way to force the system print dialogue instead of Firefox, please let me know.

since one of your updates it is impossible to just print an email from the print icon - I have to keep opening new boxes and in the end it might print - complete waste of time and I am thinking of leaving Firefox completely.

is there no-one - a real human I can call?

Every time I try to print multiple copies of a document (PDF or word, not printing a webpage), the printer instead shrinks the page size to around 1/4 size on normal letter paper.

I have checked all my printer settings, reset firefox printing settings, reset computer printing settings, and gone into all the printer menus directly. Even if the page size is set to 100% size, it will still print as a 1/4 image as long as I am trying to print multiple copies directly from the firefox browser (or Firefox PDF viewer).

I also tested it on multiple printers as well as single vs double sided. On Firefox, if you print multiple copies of any document (not screenshot or print-webpage) it will shrink it into a quarter sheet. This works against double sided and single sided.

As for the types of documents: this is for every .docx or .pdf form printed off of Firefox (even pre-existing .pdf documents opened in the Firefox pdf viewer), as long as I am printing multiple copies. If I open the same .docx or .pdf in Adobe, the issue does not arise.

Both me and another coworker have the same issue (both use firefox) and other browsers do not have the same shrinking issue while printing. I believe it started around a month ago?

I am on Firefox 152.0 (64-bit).

When I view a pdf in Firefox it looks centered like a normal page.

When I send it to print from there, it left justify the pages. I have tried changing the Scale, Margins. The paper size is Letter 8.5" x 11". I have 2 different Canon printers (laserjet and inkjet) and no difference.

If I download it and open it with Microsoft Edge and send it to print, it prints centered like a normal page.

I have tried to search articles on this topic. They were all very old. Some says to make changes in about:config in the address line. I tried a couple. Yet no difference.

Hope you can help.

I am trying to print a statement, In the text itself it is the correct font size; however, when I print it is so small I can hardly read it. How do I increase the size of the printed statement

I'm using a Mac Mini M2 Pro with Tahoe 26.5. I have two printers, the Samsung laser printer is listed twice but only the fax printer of my Epson ET4850 is listed. I can't find a way either to adda missing printer, or to edit the list. I've reset the printer settings using about:support to no avail.

I have always, for 15+ years, been able to use the system Print dialog box to create a PDF.

But as of updating Firefox to version 152.0 (aarch64), all buttons related to Saving a PDF, etc. send the document straight to the Printer to print a hard copy. There no longer appears to be any way to save a PDF.

Example scenario: 1.) Visit website 2.) Select Print (cmd-P, File > Print) and open the 1st print dialog box 3.) Select "Print using the system dialog..." 4.) Select PDF in the 2nd dialog box. 5.) You used to be able to save the PDF at this stage, opening Finder, naming the file, and choose the Save DIR. However, as of this latest update, even after the Finder File Name dialog box, hitting Save at that stage sends it to the printer to print a hard copy.

Pressing PDF, Save as PDF, Open in Preview, and Save as Adobe PDF all send the file directly to the Printer to save it.

I've got tons of receipts and things to save for work in PDF and FF was always great at this. What happened? Is this a feature or a bug? Any and all advice is welcomed.

Hi everyone,

Since the Firefox Developer Edition update 152.0beta, saving as a PDF via the print menu no longer works. Although the “Save as PDF” option is available and selected by me, the job is always sent to the laser printer (which is not supposed to print it, of course). This happens on every conceivable website, so the website itself is not the cause. (Platform: macOS Tahoe 26.5.1)

For years, generating PDFs via the print menu has worked flawlessly with FF—now I’m forced to take a detour via Safari, for example—which works correctly in the long run—but isn’t my preferred solution. I don’t think you need different browsers just to use “normal” functions. So who has recently tinkered with this FF feature?

Since I can’t find the relevant setting in the FF preferences—and a “search” on this topic has been unsuccessful—I’d like to know if there’s a solution?

Best regards, HS

A blank page comes up after trying to print a mailing label from Amazon. Yes I can turn off the protection, but that's an extra step.

I followed the "instructions" to add the site or domain to an exception list but that also does not work.

Printing a return shopping label from Amazon is a very normal thing for people to do. Fix this so that it's easy to print or an easy work around like adding Amazon.com to an exception list
