Recurrent problems with security cookies and weird issue with printing pages w/ dropdown menues

Hello, I hope somebody can give me some guidance about two issues that are driving me crazy. To provide some context, I use Firefox to work from home and my primary interest is accessing government and bank sites from my country to fill out tax forms and pay said taxes, therefore the browser built in provisions that deal with web page development, shortcuts, Artificial Intelligence, Social Media are utterly useless to me. The issues are as follow: 1. I regularly access the website of the federal tax authority of my country and local state hundreds of times each day. After a while, normally two months, Firefox starts to behave like a drug addict: It develops a resistance to the security cookies from these sites that worsens over time, until eventually the websites plain out kick me as soon as I log in. The only workaround is to use Privacy Mode or another browser until Firefox starts to behave again. In 2026 this started to happen with the bank website too. 2. After a fit of rage after a failed task I was in the process of attemping to destroy the mouse when reason finally prevailed but not before I got another issue with Firefox: The browser now prints (To PDF and paper) every single item from dropdown menues in webpages that cointan these elements. I already tried re-installing the browser, doing a clear install, erasing cache and cookies, deleting profiles. Thank you for any guidance.

Print preview in Firefox 149 renders all <option> elements inside <select> instead of only the selected value.

In Firefox version 149, there is an issue with print preview behavior for HTML <select> elements. When opening print preview, all <option> items inside a dropdown are displayed and included in the print output.

This behavior differs from Firefox 148, where only the selected option is rendered correctly during print preview.

Steps to reproduce:

- Create an HTML page with a <select> dropdown containing multiple <option> elements. - Select one of the options. - Open print preview (Ctrl + P).

Expected result: Only the selected option should be visible and printed.

Actual result: All options inside the <select> element are displayed and printed.

Impact: This issue breaks the layout of printed documents and makes forms difficult to read, especially when dropdowns contain many options.

I have been annotating a student's pdf report online using PDF24. I started last night and continued this morning. Now PDF24 says there is no file. But the completed 5 page file is completely viewable in my Firefox browser. How can I save this as a PDF file? When I try to use the print tool in Firefox, only one page of the file is included and that is mixed up with the PDF24 toping and tailing. The student needs her commented report back.

I have a Brother DCP-L2550DW printer that is connected via a network cable. Any other browser, i.e. Edge or Chrome, seem to be able to connect and print just fine. Firefox fails to print and there is no information about why. I have checked Event Viewer, turned off all the extensions, tried the about:config to reset printer options. Every single suggestion I've found so far fails to fix it. I have a great deal invested in using Firefox (bookmarks, etc.) so I'd like to keep it as my default browser, but not being able to print is SO annoying. Any suggestions?

Firefox 148.0 affecting text alignment when printing from webpage?

I'm unsure if this is the right place to be asking this as I'm new to the Mozilla forums, but I've noticed an issue with how text aligns when printing in the latest version of Firefox (148.0), specifically I'm using the 64-bit installation on Windows - I cannot confirm whether or not this issue can be replicated on other environments as I do not use them.

I noticed this issue when trying to print an order summary from Shopify - both in preview, physically printed sheets, and PDFs, the shipping/billing addresses had their lines 'smushed' together, rendering them illegible.

Was there a tweak in the latest update affecting how Firefox handles text, specifically in regards to its alignment, when printing from a webpage?

At first I thought this was a Shopify issue (as is the case more often than not), but after trying this out on different browsers (namely Chrome and Safari - boo), I could not replicate the issue.

I would share screenshots of how the issue presents, however I cannot do this without being in breach of GDPR and I do not want to share customers' sensitive information.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance! :)

How to include images when printing an article to a PDF file? Every article I can find by searching on Google says I should click on icons or settings that don't seem to exist. How can I set Firefox so that when I print an article to a PDF document, the photos or images are included in the PDF file. It would also be useful to be able to turn this feature on or off, depending on the article. Thank you.
