Hello, After Firefox removed about:config option from Beta and Nightly, can you tell me how to remove Header and Footer when I print documents? I don't want to include URL, dates, times etc. but a clean document or file?

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.

When using other browsers I can highlight an article or portion of an article and then right click and have access to the "Print" function or "Copy" function. I've tried that several times with Mozilla but don't get that option upon right clicking my mouse. How do I print or copy an article?

After I print a page, Firefox seems to remember most of the options I chose for next time.

For example, if I print using some custom margins, Firefox will default to those same custom margins the next time I print a page. The same for duplex options - Firefox remembers that I want to print double-sided and with "Flip on short edge".

However, it doesn't remember my "pages per sheet" settings. It's annoying because I always print 2 pages per sheet, but Firefox defaults to 1. So I need to change that setting to 2 every time I print. If I forget, I wastefully use twice as much paper.

I've checked in about:config and `print.save_print_settings` is set to `true`. Like I say, most of my settings do get saved, but not "pages per sheet".

Is there anything I can do to set a persistent preference for this?

Since the Firefox Developer Edition update 152.0beta, saving as a PDF via the print menu no longer works. Although the “Save as PDF” option is available and selected by me, the job is always sent to the laser printer (which is not supposed to print it, of course). This happens on every conceivable website, so the website itself is not the cause. (Platform: macOS Tahoe 26.5.1)

For years, I’ve been able to generate PDFs via the print menu in FF without any issues—now I’m forced to take a detour via Safari, for example (which works correctly every time). So who has recently tinkered with this FF feature?

Since I can’t find the relevant setting in the FF preferences—and a “search” on this topic has been unsuccessful—I’d like to know if there’s a solution?

I like Firefox with one exception. The right-click print feature is missing in the drop-down menu. I can print from the Application Menu but the 'print' feature is missing using the mouse right-click menu. The right-click feature does work using other browsers. A picture of my right-click menu using Firefox is attached. THANKS

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

A few updates ago, headers and footers started appearing on anything I print from Firefox. No other printing from any other source does this. All the settings (advanced settings) show header/footer as off, and 'none' in all the header footer options. I have attempted every combination available and can't get rid of the headers and footers. I Don't Want Them!

After last auto upgrade of firefox browser, my print function is dysfunctional. When I try to print a broker data page, 2 "boxes" of options on the page I'm trying to print, become open, with long lists of all possible options, when they only show the one option I am using on the real web page I'm using. This takes up 1/2 of the printed page, and moves the data I'm trying to print down so far that I have to print 2 pages to include it all. This is a change which did not occur when printing before the upgrade. If I switch to a safari browser, this does not happen (but I prefer the firefox browser). Help please.

Recently, in last two months, when using the Firefox website browser, I cannot print some, but not all, website articles on my Brother Laser Printer. Articles from Website www.zerohedge.com will not print. Articles from other websites print fine. My Firefox version is: Firefox Version 156.0.1, Build ID 20260921121718. other troubleshooting information: User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:156.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/156.0 OS Windows_NT 10.0 26200.

I am running Windows 11 home, Version 25H2, installed 7/9/2026.,

I have cleared the "saved print settings" button with no solution. Still won't print.

Your thoughts please. Kind regards, John T.

Why when I try to print a web page does it show all values of drop down boxes since my latest update? This does not occur when using chrome. I will be switching to chrome if this is not resolved!

I've seen the other support requests on this from the past. Setting " print.tab_modal.enabled = false " doesn't seem to work now (Firefox for Mac 141.0.3).

Is there any (2025) way to default to "print with system dialog" rather than having to choose the link off of FF's dialog every time? It makes printing to PDF (which is 95% of my "printing" from FF) needlessly tedious.

I am trying to print a picture of our family dog to put into a frame. She dies the December 26, 2021 and the frame is a certain size that I cannot find or don't know how to do this size.
