I have two shops on Etsy. From what I understand, I cannot access them both from the same browser, so I have Google Chrome for one and Firefox for the other. However, I have had a lot of trouble printing invoices and shipping labels from Etsy. When I hit print in Etsy, the invoices and labels are sent to Word and then there is some corruption. Yesterday, the shipping label was too small and the top portion was filled with Chinese language and not English. The rest of the label was in English. Is there a reason why the forms will not print directly from Etsy in Firebox? Transferring the files to Word (this is done by Firefox) makes a process that should be quick and easy a pain in the neck. Can this be resolved or I am going to need to use another browser. Thanks.

I am trying to download videos from a site that I newly subscribed to. The videos do stream perfectly. The files do not download as video files and will not open at all. When I click on the download link, there is no recognition of a download happening and when I check my files later I have an "internet" file showing with a title but without a video file extension and nothing will open. The file extension is ".html". I am following the step by step instructions from the site involved. Other sites videos are downloading as expected.

Does firefox need to be my default browser? Any suggestions how to remedy this without losing what is working? Are there plug-ins that can address this issue?

Thanks.

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.

After downloading a file which is saved to my Mac Download Folder the file is removed once I close the Firefox Web window. I checked the folder before the window was closed and the file was there. After closing the window the file is no longer in the folder. Also it is not in the trash.

We print a report from an application, and the application allows the user the option to print the "title" of the report. Once the option to print the title is selected and print report is executed, the report displays in the browser, which can then be printed to a printer. On one machine using Mozilla, everything works as it should, but on a second machine that we are starting to use, even though "print the title" is selected, the title does not appear on the final print output.

In other browsers I see a "page setup" option and that is where I can select "Title" and position where I want it to appear on printed output, and I suspect Firefox must have the same settings, but for the life of me, I can't seem to find it.

I've included the images of the various stages that we are trying to achieve with Firefox on the new machine.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

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

I use Firefox as my main browser for all my work, but when doing to print off my labels with barcodes the quality isn't great, I have compared this using Edge and Chrome and you can really see the quality difference.

Has anyone else have this problem and is there a fix?

Thank you in advance. Pete

I would like to find a way to detect when the print dialog is closed in Firefox (whether the user clicks "Print" or "Cancel"). My goal is to automatically close the opened tab once the print dialog is dismissed.

Currently, I trigger the print dialog like this: var wdw = window.open(fileUrl, '_blank'); if (!wdw) {

   onError();
   return;

} setTimeout(function () {

   try {
       wdw.print();
   } catch (e) {
       onError();
   }

}, 100); However, I haven't found a reliable way to detect when the print dialog is closed so that I can close the tab accordingly.

In Chrome, I was able to achieve this by monitoring focus events and checking document.activeElement. This allowed me to determine when the print dialog was closed and automatically close the tab afterward. However, this approach does not seem to work in Firefox.

Is there a way to track when the print dialog is dismissed in Firefox?

My Canon printer disconnected from my computer after Firefox offered me CutePDF writer printing which I did not take.

The drop down menu for printers under settings no longer shows my Canon, only this Cute one.

Not Cute...Need to be able to print.

Connection to Zoom on this same desktop is not working right. The meeting flashes on and off. Ideas?

Thanks, Karen

Firefox will not longer close without also closing my pinned tabs which pretty much defeats the purpose of pinning tabs for later and makes it much harder to keep track of things. I didn't notice the first time and lost my pinned tabs that had been there for months, I immediately put them back but now everytime I try exiting firefox it informs me i'm about to close however many tabs are open + the pinned tabs. Does anyone know how to solve the problem/what might be causing it.

Hello, After Firefox removed about:config option from Beta and Nightly, can you tell me how to remove Header and Footer when I print documents? I don't want to include URL, dates, times etc. but a clean document or file?

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.
