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.

A few updates ago, headers and footers started appearing on anything I print from Firefox. No other printing from any other source does this. All the settings (advanced settings) show header/footer as off, and 'none' in all the header footer options. I have attempted every combination available and can't get rid of the headers and footers. I Don't Want Them!

Using Mozilla as my browser, I print from my Lenovo laptop to my HP Office Jet 8025e printer. The headers and footers have disappeared. The "print Header/Footer" is checked in the printer settings, but they do NOT print. This change has occurred during the last couple of weeks, perhaps as the result of an update. It seems that checking or unchecking that box makes no difference now. Same result regards...no Headers or Footers. Please advise.

Saving tab content as a PDF

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

After last auto upgrade of firefox browser, my print function is dysfunctional. When I try to print a broker data page, 2 "boxes" of options on the page I'm trying to print, become open, with long lists of all possible options, when they only show the one option I am using on the real web page I'm using. This takes up 1/2 of the printed page, and moves the data I'm trying to print down so far that I have to print 2 pages to include it all. This is a change which did not occur when printing before the upgrade. If I switch to a safari browser, this does not happen (but I prefer the firefox browser). Help please.

A month ago I downloaded Linux Ubuntu 24.04.3 onto my Microsoft Surface Pro. Was never able to get the touch screen to work, but, the printer worked fine. After the recent Firefox update, however, I am unable to print. The preview page does not load. Not tech savvy, here, definitely not an administrator. How do I fix this? Thanks for any help.
