Previously, when printing a website, you could select the text on the page and then click print and then there was an option (Print SELECTION) that would allow you to print only the highlighted text.

I cannot find that option on the modern firefox print window/dialogue?

I sell on vinted, which generates a PDF label to print. Some of the courier sites add a lot of nonsense text to their labels, which I cover up with a white box to save ink. These edited PDFs used to then print just the label without the nonsense text, but since a recent Firefox update they have started printing an empty page instead. Saving the edited PDF and then opening it again in Firefox does not work. The edited labels still print okay in Microsoft Edge.

How can I print all "articles" on a yahoo page from https://www.yahoo.com/news/ and specify "simplify"summarizing it

I selected SETTING for this question, from the dropdown menu "Which topic best describes your question?" because none of the selections are relevant for my question" which is about printing all "articles" on a yahoo news page such as:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/emmanuel-macron-hot-mic-reveals-151653489.html

If I simplify the printing I only get the first "article" on the page which, in the example I gave above is headlined with:

"'I'm the boss', Trump says at G7, as he warms to Ukraine's war aims"

If you page down you'll find the second "article" headlined:

"Trump says Iran deal averted 'economic catastrophe' but says he could still restart war"

If I specify simplify when printing the page, only the first article is printed.

Is there a way to print all of the articles using simplify?

UPDATE: I tried selecting reader mode but only the first article shows in browser window and prints.

Adobe Acrobat (9.5 Pro Extended) doesn't work after most recent Firefox updates

I've used Firefox since Revision 15. I've used Adobe Acrobat 9.5 Pro Extender for almost as long.

I have Win 10 Home, all updates applied. My system is 64-bit. It has 32GB of RAM. Some tabs - e.g., www.yahoo.com/finance - balloon and consume so much RAM, that I have to restart Firefox.

After most recent updates 151.0 Adobe no longer will print to .pdf. This is HUGELY disruptive.

Having used computers for work for over 45 years, I understand it is hard to ensure that an update does not become a down-grade.

I do not want to to move to a newer version of Acrobat. What I have works well for me.

Can someone PLEASE make whatever changes are needed, so that Adobe Acrobat works smoothly?

About once a week, since 1/4/25, I been receiving different emails demanding payment or the author will divulge to all of my email contacts about the pornography I am supposedly viewing, which I do not. Can you do anything to close these email accounts? All of the messages are from different authors with different email addresses. I keep thinking this will run its course and end but it has not. Thanks. Jim Woodburn

when printing a page from Firefox,, normal default printer settings is "fit to page" which is fine for 99% of time But,, when i switch to scale 100%, this setting is ignored and the page prints still with the "fit to page"

Switching to use "Edge" as browser and doing the exact same print,,,, printout scales to 100% and is perfect

Took me while to isolate this problem and all attempts at firefox settings etc have no effect The issue is re-producible on multiple computers and multiple printers

Please advise otherwise i will have to continue to use MsEdge for this one task Rick L

A month ago I downloaded Linux Ubuntu 24.04.3 onto my Microsoft Surface Pro. Was never able to get the touch screen to work, but, the printer worked fine. After the recent Firefox update, however, I am unable to print. The preview page does not load. Not tech savvy, here, definitely not an administrator. How do I fix this? Thanks for any help.

Hi Win10 PC fully up to date. Changed my printer from a Xerox to an HP laser. In the control panel, set the HP as the default printer. MS Office prints on the HP without prompting. Firefox (134.0.2) always defaults to the Xerox. The HP is available in the drop down box. Restarting the PC or reloading Firefox makes no difference, Firefox always defaults to the (non existent) Xerox. MS Edge defaults to the HP. Any ideas? Regards - Andrew
