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?

When printing documents from a website that contains icon options for sharing document, copying link, etc. When I start printing the document, all of those icons actually print OVER some of the text on every page. How can I stop that??

Here's a good example right here. If I tried to print this page, the icons above this box would print over the text on every page, making the text not readable. How can… (read more)

I have a Canon TR8620 printer and a desktop PC. Yesterday I tried printing off a couple of text selections from two different sites. Both times the printer malfunctioned, printed the selection only partially and kept repeating this until I turned the printer off.

I contacted Canon support, and we went through a series of troubleshooting exercises, and he determined there was no problem with the printer itself. He suggested I tried printing from another browser.

I switched to MS Edge and successfully printed off two different items without a hitch. He and I both agreed that it appears to be a Firefox problem.

I recently updated Firefox to 144.0.2 (64-bit) and am suspicious the problem may lie there. I am running Windows 11 Pro.

I don't necessarily have a question, I just thought you might want to be made aware of this problem.

Using webpage title variable in about:config entry.

I am trying to use the print.always_print_silent entry to print PDF's. I added a print.printer_Mozilla_Save_to_PDF.print_to_filename entry with a string of file:///Users/Test/

If I append something like Test.pdf to the end of the string a file is created as expected in the expected directory. However, if I do not provide a filename explicitly, it does nothing.

Is there a way to use a variable such as the %t variable used in Headers / Footers to name the file dynamically? Otherwise I see no way to save multiple files to the directory in the fashion as it will overwrite the previous file with the explicit name.

Thank you for your help!
