I am on a Mac running El Capitan, with Firefox 49.0.1.
For workflow purposes, i have different page setups saved that I use to print PDFs from webpages that are not letter size. A few days ago i noticed that, no matter which print setting/paper size i chose, my PDFs all printed 8.5"x11" even though the size i wanted was selected in the dropdown window. Also, now "Ignore scaling and shrink to fit page width" is checked by default, and "print background colors" and "print background images" are NOT checked by default. Each time i change these for printing, but the settings will not persist.
I have tried resetting Firefox. I have also tried the about:config console to reset and/or edit the settings, but do not see any relative to these specific items (page size, background colors/images). The setting print.save_print_settings is already set to "true." I have also tried trashing the "prefs.js" file in my user profile.
Are there settings in about:config that DO pertain to these settings that i'm just not seeing? Or, is there something else I should try in order to fix this? I'm stumped. Any help is greatly appreciated.

OS : Windows 7 x64 I was using Firefox 48.0.2 (x64) - french version. I manually downloaded and installed Firefox 49.0 (x64). After installation, Firefox does not start : - the firefox.exe process is running, using something between 5000 and 65000 Mb of memory - nothing else happens : the process does nothing, using 0% CPU
I've seen this issue : - on several PC's of my organization - after automatic update or manual update - after having deleted my Firefox profile - after having disabled Kasperky Antivirus
I've noticed that the last version of Firefox Developer Edition has the same behaviour : install OK, won't start.
Going back to previous version is OK : Firefox starts again.

I have just discovered to my horror that all my important bookmarks are gone(?)! I went to "bookmarkbackup" folder as detailed by firefox support but there was only 3 backup files, starting from 25/09/16 only. I checked my history and it only shows up to 7 days! None of the previous saved folders or files saved/bookmarked is there anymore. Bookmark seems to have been "formated".
I have most recently updated to FF version 49.0.1 on same 25/09/16. I only discovered this potential disaster this morning.
I need and solicit for URGENT HELP!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Unfortunately when I tried to install the latest version of Firefox it got copied to the wrong folder. I tried to correct this problem and managed to reopen Firefox, but it had lost all of my previous session information. I had over 300 tabs open, and they have all gone. I have had this problem before and found out how to get previous sessions back from the Mac's time machine, but I am not sure what file I have to look for and how to get it back to the right place so Firefox can use this file when it reopens as opposed to the file that is empty - Thank you

This has been going on for awhile, I've made posts about similar issues but I have yet to hear anything. My Firefox is "broken" I guess that would be the perfect term for, At least my Firefox. I experience slowdowns on all webpages, it crashes, it freezes, I get what seems like an unlimited amount of "Unresponsive scripts" which forces me to use task manager to end the Firefox process because waiting for it to debug itself or letting the script load does nothing at all. Even the great check-able "Do not remind me again box" does nothing, I don't even bother checking the box because if there's another unresponsive script, even though its the same error the notification pops up still.
Firefox's memory usage spikes from 500k-900k all the way to 2million, I have exited Firefox and have also tried to use the task manager to end the process when it spikes because Firefox is unusable when it gets that high. Even though when I completely exit out of the Firefox program and use task manager to end the process, If I start Firefox back up the memory usage will climb back to where it was which is usually around the 1.5mil range then from there it goes to as high as 2.3mil then just crashes on me.
This has been going on for awhile now and nothing seems to be worked on.

Firefox stalls if using multiple tabs

I switched to Firefox from Chrome a few months ago. Since then, I am troubled with the whole Firefox freezing on certain websites, ex: most airlines. If I open up a single tab, then I obviously need to wait for the whole page to load, which takes around 3s. If I open multiple tabs, pages seem to take as long as 10-15s to load and all tabs totally freeze. The same webpage combinations load perfectly fine on Chrome tabs.
I am running Firefox 48.0 on Linux Mint 18 and suspect that it is related to a resource-heavy script that such websites have (maybe Java?). It is as if something in the websites get mutexes etc. and block the whole program rather than everything running on parallel threads. I tried disabling all extensions to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have followed all the directions I can find for resetting the print settings and even edited the "prefs.js" file. Firefox is the only browser that ignores the print setting that I select on any page. Specifically, it ignores the tray that I choose. No matter what I'm printing from the Firefox browser, it ignores the tray choice.

I manage about 45 Mac computers.
After the computers started updating to Firefox 49, I've had lots of issues.
We use Ricoh MFP copier/printers. We use locked printing. For users that download PDF and have "Preview in Firefox" selected, when you tried to print, it would always send the document to the error log (because you have to have Username/Password set for document to print).
Workarounds: 1) bring up the print dialog, then click PDF in the bottom of it and Open PDF in Preview. Then print from Preview. 2) Change Firefox preferences to Open PDFs in Preview. However, when you do this it opens a blank new tab for every PDF you open.
We use firefox for an internal web app and we have lots of PDFs, this has become really cumbersome. Any better workarounds?

After your stupid upgrade to 49.0.1 I can't make audio calls on Facebook any more! Facebook error: "Can't make call." Then "Click the camera and choose Share Devices" The mic isn't trapped by any other app. Calling works perfectly on Chrome. The only thing that changed was the Firefox update to version 49.0.1. How can I revert to the previous version?

On the majority of sites I visit Firefox seems to have no problems with the use of Flash Player - but just occasionally videos can't be played. Currently - (Sept 2016) - videos in The Daily Mirror remain blank...although the adverts play perfectly, of course. They were fine last week though. And I happened to visit Yahoo news today and found that videos wouldn't play there either. But videos on the BBC site work fine, as do those at TheJigsawPuzzles site, to mention but two others who use Flash Player. On the other hand they play fine in the Daily Mail - I guess because they use video.js instead.
In addition, all those videos play perfectly well using Chrome or Opera.
I've deleted and reinstalled Flash Player over and over again and done the same with my Firefox browser but all to no avail and I've made sure that the Add-ons "Always Activate" option is clicked - so what's the problem and why can't I get a blanket approval to use Flash Player?

These types of popups promote videos and additional articles on the site. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT ROGUE ADS !!!! Many sites have them now. They are not ads ! They are site-specific, often promoting other content. Some of them can be closed but others can't - and who wants to be closing those things all the time because they obscure what I am trying to read or look at.
If you don't specifically know, plz do not post "it could be...", and "you might try..." I have gone in circles for days via speculative answers.
Any assistance is appreciated ! The image attached is exactly what I am talking about.
