Maybe I am not asking this correctly. My wife had a recipe web site that scrolled forever, about 65 pages. She wanted a recipe in the middle of scroll that did not fit on the Mac Display. How do I select a section of a web page that is bigger than the display window.

I just wanted to print middle portion of the web page about 3 pages.

What I did was print it to a PDF, open it and just print from the PDF those 3 pages.

It seem I should be able to do that directly in Firefox.

Thanks

Firefox is a viewer and once it is a pdf then it can be printed. So Addons/Extensions are there to do the work from Developers.

If you were to Highlight the section of the page and copy and paste to a notepad or something that can be converted to a pdf then would not need 3 pages. Or can find a txt to pdf converter on line to do this. Most recipe sites have a button some where Printer Friendly Version that just displays the recipe.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
