That page has a bizarre Microsoft Office-generated layout, which probably isn't a part of anyone's testing for patches. Perhaps the code fix missed something that needed for this kind of page? I don't know the details of the fix. I'm going to look into this a bit more after hours.

<p>This might be easier than the bookmarklet: the add-on <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nuke-anything-enhanced/" rel="nofollow">Nuke Anything Enhanced</a> has the option to remove everything except your selected text from the page. Then you can print normally (i.e., without choosing the Selection bubble). I don't see a feature to undo that, so you would need to reload the page afterwards in order to continue working with it.

</p><p>I have been using FF very successfully for many years. My problem seemed to appear just recently and with FF11, (blank pages) and FF12 (top margin). Just my observation - not a complaint.

</p><p>Hi RolfBeyer, I have often had that issue in Firefox over the years, although depending on the page layout and styles, I've also seen the opposite problem (elements have a negative margin that pushes them into the unprintable top part of the page).
</p><p>My workaround has been to use a bookmarklet as described in my long reply on the first page of this thread. I realize that's inconvenient, but at the time I wrote it, my alternative was to copy/paste into Word, so it was a relative improvement...
</p><p>I can't recall whether there is an official bug to change how print selection positions the selected text on the printed page, but it might be worth searching for.

It looks though we now have a potential new problem related to the top print margin.
</p><p>Say, we want to select printing from a multi-page internet document. In case we start to select near the top of that page, it prints the selection sort of as marked. But if we select say from the middle of the first page, the actual print will start at the middle of a page, rather than at the preset general top print margin. (The top half of the printed page is blank). It looks as if the (printed) top margin now is its relative location (top to bottom) on the internet page.
</p><p>BTW: Everything described above worked fine before FF11.

A selection will print but if it is at the bottom of a page, for instance, the printer scrolls through the paper to the original position at the bottom. It will not print a selection at the top of a page. If I print 2 pages, it stops at the end of the first one and tells me to turn the paper over. I need to press 'resume' to carry on. I have just downloaded Firefox 12 and am VERY disappointed to discover that nothing has changed. Any suggestions, please? Printing is fine if I revert to Internet Explorer.
