Hello,

Since update 144.0 today, when I try to print a (pdf) page showing a mail adress, this mail adress is replaced by the label "[email protected]".

I try to find a way to disable this protection, as I work in a public library and use firefox to print the inscription forms (showing adress, phone and mail adress) for our users.

Various computers, with up-to-date firefox, show the same issue, with various printers, but I do not reproduce this issue in edge, for example.

I'm looking for a parameter in about:config and firefox parameters, but found nothing really meaningfull so far.

I use the same laptop at two locations. I have different printers at each (both HP, one a laser the other an inkjet).

Most of my time is at location 1. Typically I can print without a problem. Recently in Firefox ONLY I have been unable to print at location 2.

Scenario:

1. I print to the laser printer at location 1. No problem.
2. I go to location 2 and choose to print - the print dialog appears with a "spinner" and it does not go away.

I have to cancel using Esc. I am unable to print at all from Firefox. Typically if I close Firefox after that, it looks closes but is still shown as running in Task Manager.

Other programs such as Word and other browsers bring up a dialog box showing that "the printer cannot be contacted" and allows cancellation. At this point I can choose the local inkjet printer and all is well.

HELP!!!!

I have a Canon TR8620 printer and a desktop PC. Yesterday I tried printing off a couple of text selections from two different sites. Both times the printer malfunctioned, printed the selection only partially and kept repeating this until I turned the printer off.

I contacted Canon support, and we went through a series of troubleshooting exercises, and he determined there was no problem with the printer itself. He suggested I tried printing from another browser.

I switched to MS Edge and successfully printed off two different items without a hitch. He and I both agreed that it appears to be a Firefox problem.

I recently updated Firefox to 144.0.2 (64-bit) and am suspicious the problem may lie there. I am running Windows 11 Pro.

I don't necessarily have a question, I just thought you might want to be made aware of this problem.

unable to print. When I click on an AOL email to print, "preparing preview" appears. The email I'm trying to print usually just shows up and I click on number of copies, pages, etc. I need to print. Now, the preparing preview page does not load the email I'm trying to print, and then I get the "firefox has crashed" dialogue box appears.

Never had an issue printing google maps until a few weeks ago. Now the print function brings up the page header but no map. The map prints every time when I switch to Chrome. I opened the troubleshooting information page and clicked saved print settings in the printing section. That did not fix the issue.

Have a problem getting page data? Had a campus directory page that before allowed wget2 to download pages fine for over 10 years. Now that modified pages, and get nothing? Can open the new page https://employeessb-prod.ec.guamcc.edu/EmployeeSelfService/ssb/campusDirectory#/lastName But trying to manually save page results in a 1.3M file, while using print to PDF gives a 50K file? Seems it is some kind of dynamic page, so the Save as gives a ton of garbage Java code, versus saving the final web page. Printing to PDF seems to take the final form and print the correct information.

Currently takes a 2 1/2 minutes to go to the first page, Ctrl-P, and print to PDF File. Then have to use Next option to go to pages 2-6, and manual print each one, changing the save file name each time. Makes like 6 50K files. Use pdftotext to change to text, and then combine into one file to extract data.

What took 6 seconds with wget2 to download, now takes 2 1/2 minutes??

I recently experienced [not previously] in trying to print a received e-mail using the "print" item. When I clicked on the "print" word I received the following error

https://mail.yahoo.com/print/message/AFe0zTKlUhih9Gu_uzKg3tJ-XbE?appName=NOVATION_APP sent back an error.

Error code: 403 Forbidden

   Check to make sure you’ve typed the website address correctly.

Please advise how/where I may change a setting to avoid this error

I am trying to print this PDF file. When I print through Firefox, the "R" characters are replaced with "T"s Printing with any other application such as preview on my mac does not result in this issue.

Here's a good example right here. If I tried to print this page, the icons above this box would print over the text on every page, making the text not readable. How can I stop the icons from printing???

The issue started about one week ago (today is 10/11/25). When I wanted to print while in Firefox browser, the print never executed. Instead the screen froze as did the browser. I had to do some experimenting to use my pointer and open a different browser. Yes - besides the pointer being frozen (all that showed was an hourglass) my keyboard was also frozen. When I finally opened a different browser and printed the same item, no problem. I had to close Firefox to be able to fully use my laptop again. I searched the solutions and none had an effect. Firefox would still freeze/hang/lock up when trying to print. The browser is up to date.

On our web site (www.outlookmovie.com) we have the option to print documents and we also have a watermarking option

when we do a print and save pdf from firefox > file > print and save a pdf if the option watermarking is off , it works, if the option watermarking is on, it does not work (the pdf exported is zero octet)

could you help us resolving this issue ?

By the way it works when we use Chrome or Safari

Thx you very much for your help Marc Jenny mjenny@mjenny.fr

When printing the same page repeatedly, FF gets increasingly slower and slower each time until it is downright ridiculously slow and takes up to a minute, perhaps more, to get to the print menu. However, if you reload the page, printing is instantaneous (at least for the first or second time). Some history or memory management problems?

FF Version 135.0 (64-bit) on MacBook Pro Sequoia 15.3.1

One test case would be https://api.razzlepuzzles.com/cryptogram. Keep selecting New Game from the pull-down menu on the right and try printing as PDF (or anything else).

I use Firefox as my main browser for all my work, but when doing to print off my labels with barcodes the quality isn't great, I have compared this using Edge and Chrome and you can really see the quality difference.

Has anyone else have this problem and is there a fix?

Thank you in advance. Pete

I tried to print directly from a website, but it will not print. If I print an image or PDF, it will print just fine. I am currently using Firefox 135.0.1 on a macOS Sequoia 15.3.
