Firefox Community Forum

Not sure what topic this would be under but when I print a webpage from Firebox the info (page # - date and time info) at the bottom of the page will only print the top half, all it shows is the top half of page 1 of 6, etc on the left side and the top half of the 5/10/2025 on the right side, it prints the whole line of info at the top of page. How do I get Firefox to print the whole line of info at the bottom of the page?

Printing will not show up when I select print, only save shows. What can I do? When I use a different browser it works fine. Only when I use Mozilla, I can't print.

I have an Arch Linux installation with Plasma desktop. Software is always kept up-to-date. Sometime recently, Mozilla apps, Firefox nor Thunderbird, will no longer print, neither to pdf nor to network printer. These always worked before. Now, if even "print preview" is invoked, the dialog opens as a blank sub window with only the word "Print" in upper right, and at left center is "Preparing Preview with rotating time delay wheel, which never resolves. All other apps, including other browsers and mail handlers, will print without issue. I've tried the obvious checks with no success. Where could be the problem? Is there a helper app shared by Firefox and Thunderbird that could be the issue? The only potential remedy I have not yet tried is complete removal of both Firefox and Thunderbird, as that would cause re-configuration issues for both. It's necessary to press <ESC> to terminate the print window when it fails to respond. Screenshot attached...

I'm not sure if this is a FireFox issue or a google glitch, but here goes. Please give me direction on how to correct the above mentioned problems.

Thanks in advance for your time.

since most recent update ~7/28/25 or so, can't print anything

even print to pdf just creates a corrupt pdf file. have to use chrome instead

inine printing of pdf borked

even printing to an physicla printer - no output

please fix ASAP

Something has changed recently and I now cannot print any emails or anything from internet. My printer is working, has been verified.... probably a setting, but I am unable to find the problem

Previously, when printing a website, you could select the text on the page and then click print and then there was an option (Print SELECTION) that would allow you to print only the highlighted text.

I cannot find that option on the modern firefox print window/dialogue?

Hello there,

I'm a relatively new adopter of Firefox so please bear with me.

First off let me say that my Brother Printer is working fine. Word documents as well as non-PDF documents print correctly and cleanly from 3rd party applications as well as Firefox. That is until I open up a PDF document and attempt to print it and see: "Printer in an error state." Clearing out the print cue and or restarting the printer, does nothing to resolve this issue.

See attached image from the printer cue.

Digging into my system (Windows 11) everything appears fine, drivers are up-2-date, and all other applications that can use the printer do so without issue. Briefly re-installing Chrome, I'm able to print the PDF without issue. Which strongly suggests that this is an issue native to the Firefox browser. Odds are if I'm seeing this issue, loads of other users are as well.

Looking forward to your replies.... Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

The custom printer dialogue in FireFox is not good in handling non common printers or paper sizes, when printing with for example label printers it's annoying and adds an extra step since many option are not present or not sticking in the FireFox custom printing dialogue. I'd like to know if there is still a way in current versions of FireFox to completely remove this custom printer dialogue and go directly to the system print dialogue. This used to be available thru about:config setting, but it's no longer working in that way. Thanks in advance.

In the past I've been able to print pages generated from websites, such as ... https://www.bridgebum.com/short_suit_game_try.php

I recently used a well know "cleaner" to remove broken links etc ... Since then I've been unable to print these generated pages. I can still print documents that I've created. mail etc so it's not the connection between my PC (Windows 10) and the printer (canon TR7560)

I've tried the troubleshooting ideas in FAQ. I've reinstalled (without uninstalling) Firefox but neither helped.

Hi, I recently switched to Firefox and I have run into a problem. While printing a pdf on the "more setting" menu the percentage scale doesn't actually work. First of all the preview doesn't change when trying different scales, I thought that it might have been a preview problem and I've tried to print anyway finding out that also the printed result wasn't correct. I often use this feature and I will be grateful if you are able to help me. Thanks

I have a Brother DCP-L2550DW printer that is connected via a network cable. Any other browser, i.e. Edge or Chrome, seem to be able to connect and print just fine. Firefox fails to print and there is no information about why. I have checked Event Viewer, turned off all the extensions, tried the about:config to reset printer options. Every single suggestion I've found so far fails to fix it. I have a great deal invested in using Firefox (bookmarks, etc.) so I'd like to keep it as my default browser, but not being able to print is SO annoying. Any suggestions?

I can no longer press the print button after a bank transaction wanting a print saved copy the Bank tells me I MUST upgrade my Mozzilla / Firefox programs... I do that every time YOU tell me and I press the button .. SO what else do I have to do>> As you may guess .. need some baby step help Please! Regards Jeanette

When trying to print something using Firefox it automatically wants to print 2 copies, despite refreshing, rebooting, reinstalling and checking browser settings. This issue does not occur with other web browsers such as Microsoft Edge.
