I am on Firefox 152.0 (64-bit).

When I view a pdf in Firefox it looks centered like a normal page.

When I send it to print from there, it left justify the pages. I have tried changing the Scale, Margins. The paper size is Letter 8.5" x 11". I have 2 different Canon printers (laserjet and inkjet) and no difference.

If I download it and open it with Microsoft Edge and send it to print, it prints centered like a normal page.

I have tried to search articles on this topic. They were all very old. Some says to make changes in about:config in the address line. I tried a couple. Yet no difference.

Hope you can help.

Adobe Acrobat (9.5 Pro Extended) doesn't work after most recent Firefox updates

I've used Firefox since Revision 15. I've used Adobe Acrobat 9.5 Pro Extender for almost as long.

I have Win 10 Home, all updates applied. My system is 64-bit. It has 32GB of RAM. Some tabs - e.g., www.yahoo.com/finance - balloon and consume so much RAM, that I have to restart Firefox.

After most recent updates 151.0 Adobe no longer will print to .pdf. This is HUGELY disruptive.

Having used computers for work for over 45 years, I understand it is hard to ensure that an update does not become a down-grade.

I do not want to to move to a newer version of Acrobat. What I have works well for me.

Can someone PLEASE make whatever changes are needed, so that Adobe Acrobat works smoothly?

Firefox print dialog shows "Printer not available" even though Windows detects my Brother DCP-T720DW

I recently started to have a printing problem in Firefox on Windows 11. My Brother DCP-T720DW works fine with other applications like Word and Notepad, but when I try to print from Firefox, sometimes I get a "Printer not available" message or the print dialog incorrectly shows the printer. For troubleshooting, I uninstalled and then reinstalled the printer driver following the official Brother download page: https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=us_ot&lang=en&prod=dcpt720dw_all Since that didn't fix the issue, I also downloaded and reinstalled the driver from: https://printerdrivers.com/brother-dcp-t720dw-driver/ Windows detects the printer and is able to print test pages, so it looks like the problem is only with Firefox. Here are the things I have tried: Restarting both Firefox and Windows Uninstalling and reinstalling the printer Resetting Firefox settings Running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode Making Brother printer the default one

Has anyone else had the same issue in which Firefox refuses to detect a printer that works correctly in other applications? Is there a print setting or preference in Firefox that might cause this? Thanks in advance for any advice.

How can I print all "articles" on a yahoo page from https://www.yahoo.com/news/ and specify "simplify"summarizing it

I selected SETTING for this question, from the dropdown menu "Which topic best describes your question?" because none of the selections are relevant for my question" which is about printing all "articles" on a yahoo news page such as:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/emmanuel-macron-hot-mic-reveals-151653489.html

If I simplify the printing I only get the first "article" on the page which, in the example I gave above is headlined with:

"'I'm the boss', Trump says at G7, as he warms to Ukraine's war aims"

If you page down you'll find the second "article" headlined:

"Trump says Iran deal averted 'economic catastrophe' but says he could still restart war"

If I specify simplify when printing the page, only the first article is printed.

Is there a way to print all of the articles using simplify?

UPDATE: I tried selecting reader mode but only the first article shows in browser window and prints.

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?

I sell on vinted, which generates a PDF label to print. Some of the courier sites add a lot of nonsense text to their labels, which I cover up with a white box to save ink. These edited PDFs used to then print just the label without the nonsense text, but since a recent Firefox update they have started printing an empty page instead. Saving the edited PDF and then opening it again in Firefox does not work. The edited labels still print okay in Microsoft Edge.

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).

How can I customize the headers and footers of a print job? Specifically, I want to change where the header and footer info appear on the page, i.e., left corner, center, right corner. I'm using Firefox Browser version 141.03. Under Print > Options, the only option is to show or not show the headers and footers. There is no option to EDIT them. Thank you.
