I'm currently in macos 15.8.2 that was the start of the issue. Till a few weeks ago I could print to samba mounts without issue in Firefox. Currently nothing gets saved(no requests for permissions if that was an issue, no errors). I have 5 other browsers on this machine, all can save pdf prints without issue. I have been jumping between browsers and moving PDFs printed on my local device for a week.

How can Firefox print PDF files to desired destination? Firefox updates after 14 October 2026 no longer produce PDF files. The interface goes through the motions, but going to the save locations shows they're not there. Looked into the Downloads folder, and did a search on my computer, including attached hard drive. Additional actions performed:

1. Installed Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to replace Acrobat X Pro. 2. Checked Firefox settings and preferences. 3. Cleared Firefox cache. 4. Restared computer.

I have used Firefox forever, but now have to use another browser when I do my online banking. I like to print to pdf any actions I have taken at my banking site. For example, payments through bill pay, transfers, statements of our accounts. Now for some reason I cannot. What is the trouble?

Please help... Within the last couple of FireFox (FF) updates — PDF's will no longer save to external drive. The drive is secure, not full... and have no problems saving files there — except when using print to PDF on FF.

Went into Download Subfile Under Settings:

Current Setting: Save Files to: Downloads / Ask Where to Save

Went further into subfiles: Changed Some to 'Always Ask' Is there a way to reset what the settings were? Concerned I may have changed some that should not have been changed. Changed to: 'Always Ask'

Content Set to ‘Always Ask’: AV1 Image File (AVIF) com.logitech.logioptionsplus irc ircs Microsoft Word MPEG Audio PNG Image Portable Document Format (PDF) tg WEBARCHIVE file webcal

Content Set to ‘Save File’: Extensible Markup Language (XML) Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)

Content Set to ‘Open in FireFox’: JPEG XL Image File WebP Image

Set PDF to 'Always Ask' - Did Not Resolve the Printing Problem.

Thank you for your time & assistance. Appreciated.

Dear Firefox Team, We are facing a printing issue with the latest version of Mozilla Firefox and would appreciate your help in resolving it. Our web-based healthcare application generates patient labels containing barcodes and patient information. These labels are designed to print in landscape orientation, and the Firefox print preview displays them correctly. However, when printing directly from Firefox, the labels are printed in portrait orientation, causing alignment and formatting issues. This issue was not present in an earlier version of Firefox, and printing was working correctly before. Unfortunately, we do not remember which Firefox version we were using at that time. We have observed the following: -The print preview displays the label correctly in landscape orientation. -Direct printing from Firefox prints the label in portrait orientation. -The same application prints correctly in Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome without any manual changes. - Saving the output as a PDF from Firefox preserves the correct landscape orientation. Since the issue appears to have started after a Firefox update and occurs only when printing directly, could you please investigate whether this is related to a change in Firefox's print handling or its interaction with printer settings? We would appreciate any recommended configuration or fix that would allow Firefox to retain the landscape orientation when printing directly. Thank you for your support. We look forward to your guidance.

When I use File > Print (or CMD-P) to make a pdf file of the current Firefox tab, the pdf file saves to a directory deep in the OS instead of the directory I specify and does not have the file name i specified. It used to work ok. Ideas to fix this?

I have Firefox ver 159.0 and MacOS 15.8.1

Firefox kein Drucker kann Webseiten ausdrucken, PDF, Testseiten, etc. funktionieren. Die vorgeschlagenen Möglichkeiten, dies zu ändern, führen nicht zum Ziel. Das Problem ist plötzlich, vermutlich nach einem Update, aufgetreten. Vorher war Drucken kein Problem

I have a new macbook air using the latest OS and a new brother printer. Firefox and the new printer are my defaults and I am unable to print from Firefox. I am able to print from Safari. I cannot for the life of me figure out what is going on.

This is the 2nd issue arising from a v158.0.1 update disaster. FF won't print a page: it seems to start, and then blanks the screen, returns to windows wallpaper. the printer stirs but prints nothing. The printer tested OK from the windows test page. As recommended in the fix suggestions, I tried the clear printer option in troubleshooting, but that does not work. How do I fix this??

Using windows10 on the ESU program on this machine.

I used lightspeed POS program. We have specialized forms that print out for us created by a third-party developer working with light speed. A few months back you updated Firefox and it changed our printing where the forms do not print exactly like before. Can this be fixed by you?

Would you please share any Firefox-specific fix for my Windows 7 laptop.

I did exact comparison of printing (using same printer) Firefox 115.43.0 web pages (which no longer print)  and Opera version 95.0.4635.90 web pages that print fine.

I use my Brother MFC‑J895DW wirelessly with Windows 7 laptop. Firefox shows “Print Preview Error”; Firefox’s XPS file won’t open, while Opera’s XPS file opens and prints.

I also tried a fresh profile, Troubleshoot Mode, resetting printer settings, and reinstalling Firefox. Still can't get Firefox web pages to print.

FYI, my Windows 10 desktop is able to get Firefox web pages to print on same Brother device.

Thank you for your time and suggestions.

Is there a way to print webpages that keeps photos whole when it comes to page breaks? I can adjust the scale to preserve one photo, but in articles with lots of photos that often moves another to the page break, and renders the text too small to read.

Right now I have to use the Print Friendly extension, which works, but that requires a little extra cleanup effort since it's attempts to simplify the page often make them look bad haha
