Firefox Community Forum

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.

How do I clear the offending one half page describing some new pdf function that is covering the right side of the printer control page and cannot be removed. This does not occur in other browsers such as Chrome

Running Linux-Mint on my laptop. Trying to run an epson ET-2400 ink jet Printer. Need Driver for printer. I have seen some information about software that needs to be added to "talk" to the printer but I cannot find it now. Please someone help.

i use Firefox on an iMac running Sequoia 15.5 I can print everything except when I go to a Merrill Account and try to print . How can I prints without having to go to Safari?

I am tired of this bullshit.

So i was using the beta branch of the firefox and beta version stopped working with a site for some time. so i tried to come back to the stable version.

After i do that and fix my config. In every couple of hours there would be a notification window pop up with sound saying this

"firefox this profile was last used with a newer version of this application. Please create a new profile"

So i did create a new profile BUT i copy pasted my own configuration.UI stuff from my old settings from "About:config"

This notification STILL comes up FFS what do i need to do then?

HOW COME MY UI CONFIGURATION TRIGGERS THE DAMN NOTIFICATION?

I will not re-do my fckng UI configuration by hand.

I cannot access the Epson ET-2850 Drivers and Utilities Combo Package Installer since the time has expired.

I checked and the clock in my computer is accurate.

ftp.epson.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

When printing history from my bank account there are transactions missing in between pages and extra bank pages. The bank of course says it's the browser. it does it on Edge as well. Please help

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.

About once a week, since 1/4/25, I been receiving different emails demanding payment or the author will divulge to all of my email contacts about the pornography I am supposedly viewing, which I do not. Can you do anything to close these email accounts? All of the messages are from different authors with different email addresses. I keep thinking this will run its course and end but it has not. Thanks. Jim Woodburn

Good afternoon. Since recently (probably after the last Firefox update to version 136.0) I have a problem: every time I start Firefox it requires the main password set in the settings. Before this problem did not occur, no settings were changed.

I read the official article on this topic, but the recommendations described there did not help me. I turned off the password, logged out of the browser, turned it back on, logged out again, and nothing. When I turned it back on, still at every startup it asked for the password.

I also noticed that every time I start it up, the loading circle next to the cursor spins, like something is happening. Can you tell me what it could be and how to get rid of this problem?

OS: Windows 11 24H2.

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).

Lately (for several weeks) I have been having trouble printing web pages with bold headings (Not Headers... Headings) in their pages. For example - recipes. The bold text which is usually also a larger font, is either missing completely, or just a series of dots.

It looks just fine in the print preview (I am on a mac, running High Sierra 10.13.6) and the problem exists whether I use the webpage print dialog or my operating system dialog.

I have tried both of my available printers and it happens on both printers, so it isn't a problem with my printers (I thought it might just be my old HP P1505)

I have also tried saving the page as a pdf through my print system dialog - the text problem exists there as well. If I use Safari (I prefer Firefox, but if this is going to continue, then I'll have to go back) everything is fine. (see the attached image - Firefox on the left, Safari on the right)

So there seems to be something in Firefox that has recently stopped allowing these fonts to make their way through from the screen into the print system.

I was attempting to print a document I created through a 3rd party site, but on the Firefox browser. Unfortunately, when I attempt to print, the document includes the website I'm using, along with other information that is not related to the document. How can I prevent Firefox from including that text when I print? I was unable to locate the correct setting. Thank you.

As the first screen capture shows (sorry it's in spanish), my PDF documents tend to not print on the full page, but rather only on the top left corner of it, i've already fiddled with the scaling and fit to page, i have cleared the printer settings from mozilla, still the same, ive gone into the about:config menu and changed paper_height, paper_width, shrink_to_fit, and scaling nothing works. The document prints fine on Edge (screenshot 2), no problems with fit, and what's even crazier is that some PDF files work just fine (Screenshot 3). Honestly i have no clue what else to do.
