If the width of the html content is too long, when I print this page in Firefox, the Firefox automatically decrease font size in order to print all content in one P4 paper, so if to width is long enough, the font size are small enough even I am unable to read it.

As far I remember the older Firefox version has different behavior, it didn't decrease the font size, but it just swap the content to be able to print fixed width in one paper.

Does anybody know is the new behavior expected or a bug? is any setting I can back to the old behavior?

You can check the print scale: File > Page Setup > "Format & Options": Scale (unselect: "Shrink to fit page width")
