printing multiple pages

When I try to print one of the pages on our website, it takes a while for the preview to appear, and then it indicates that it is going to print 12,169 pages (see attachment... upper right corner). When I use Edge or Chrome, it indicates 3 pages. Why is this happening? I just started about a week or so ago. The page is: https://www.lathene.com/monthlyspecials.aspx

This is the only page on our website that this happens. We have had this same site for several years and this is the first time something like this has happened. I spoke with the hosting company and they indicated it was an issue with Firefox, since it is working properly in Edge and Chrome.

If I expand "More Settings" and change the Scale to 65, the layout holds up pretty well, but 75 causes a mess. I think it is something about having the display: flex items within the table cell, but that's just a guess based on Firefox having problems with display: flex and paginating table cells in other contexts.

As a secondary data point, if I disable scripts on the page, the preview does not extend beyond 3 pages at higher scaling or using Fit to page width. So the scripts seem to be introducing some factor that causes Firefox to waste 14,000+ empty pages...
