OK, In chrome, or if I create a pdf, it works. When I print from Firefox, on any printer, it does not always work. If I have 2 page breaks close, the 2nd one does not work in Firefox.


I appreciate your help.

Attached is the skeleton of the HTML.

When I put just this code in a page, not one page break works. When however, I replace "(2)more content here" which is more content (> 1/2 page), then the first break works.... because it is more content???

If all 3 sections have content > 1/2 page, all the page breaks work. Again this issue exists only in Firefox.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for the screenshot.

I'm pretty sure the problem is on the first line. You're partially triggering Firefox's table layout rules, which do not paginate the same way as its block element layout rules.

Why do you use display:table for the outer div? Or to put that another way, can you get whatever effect you're looking for in some other way?
