Whenever I try to print a page in Firefox, the printer prints only 1/2(vertical) page - Internet Explorer prints the full page - what can I do to get the full page printed

This does not happen when I use Internet Explorer - I used Firefox for more than a couple years, exclusively, until this began -- but not since 2-or-3 months ago

Everytime I search on Firefox - try to print a page, the printer will only print a vertical 1/2 of the selected page. Have consulted with others & tried everything I could to locate the problem. It will also only transfer the same 1/2 vertical page to Wordpad. By moving everything to the upper left hand corner of screen I can sometimes get enough to make printout useful - but that's usually not enough. I have strong feeling this began one night after an automatic update came through Mozilla-Firefox - but can't recall enough to confirm that -- I'm certainly not whiz-bang computer knowledgeable

WOW! I just now -- using Mozilla-Firefox -- went to internet - found a file & printed 9 pages -- ALL FULL PAGE PRINTS! -- first ones using Firefox since last spring -- THANK YOU!

I'll now return my default browser to you - and will send in another donation. Thanks again.

I am curious but don't really expect you to take time to answer -- Does this solution mean that all along it was an Internet Explorer interference with a Mozilla function?
