Why can I no longer Print anything from Firefox after installing 28.0?

Since upgrading to 28.0, I can no longer print anything from within the Firefox browser. My other applications continue to print normally, but whenever I try to print anything from Firefox, I get a "A print error has occurred" message. The Print Preview page displays only a blank, gray window. Prior to upgrading I had no problems.

Can you try to access Firefox in Safe Mode to see if the problem still exists and/or if it opens? You can follow the below instructions to start it in that mode.
*Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
*When Firefox closes and re-opens, select ''Start in Safe Mode''
If Firefox works fine after starting in Safe Mode, then it's most likely one of your extensions misbehaving. You can enable your add-ons back on by one until you find the conflicting extension.

Why can I no longer access google from my mac with either Firefox or Safari

why can I no longer access google from my mac with either Firefox or Safari — both with latest updates loaded. My PC is fine.

What was before? And what is now?
It is a good idea to include the machine type and OS version in your problem posts.

I can't print anything from Firefox. I get blank pages

Ever since I downloaded the previous update, I can't print anything from Firefox. I just downloaded version 3.6.8 and I have the same problem. I am using a Mac with OS 10.6. Whenever I try to print an email or a web page from Firefox I get a single blank page.
I can print fine from Safari. Firefox worked fine until I installed version3.6.5 (or whatever the previous version was)

Thanks I will check out the site!

Why can I now not print direct from a PDF from an email

Why can I now not print direct from an email file attatchment

Can you explain in better detail?
Is it when you open the file attachment and attempt to Print?
Is it right-mouse clicking and attempting to Print?
Is it when you print the email itself and expect the attachment to Print?

My windows default printer is an HP 2015, but when I print anything from Firefox it defaults to Adobe. Can I fix this?

When I try to print from Firefox, the Adobe PDF printer is pre-selected in the printer dialog box, even though my default windows printer is a laser jet.
Both printers work just fine, but changing printers every time is a nuisance.
This happens whenever I print anything on Firefox, including emails.

Sorry, Firefox doesn't use the Windows "default printer" as the default printer, but rather it uses the last used printer as the "default". That doesn't always happen when the printer involved goes into stand-by and is "offline", from what I have seen on my small LAN.
Just one of the hundreds of print related Bugs or nuisances in Firefox that I doubt will ever be fixed, until they write all new code for printing

Printer works on every program except trying to print anything from Firefox. Blank pages everytime.

Using Windows XPproffesional & current Firefox 4.0.1. Printer works on every program except anything from Firefox,.blank page every time. When I hit File>Print; the "Print Frames" section in lower left hand box has no options checked and is unaccessible. Printing works fine in Explorer.

edmeister; thanks for trying to help. I reset the printer per the instructions you provided and also checked that I wasn't printing to file. Even unistalled Firefox, and installed 3.6; same thing happened. So, I uninstalled 3.6 and reinstalled 4.0; still having same problem. But, can still print in IExplorer?

Why can I no longer print shipping labes from some sites that used to print?

For several years I was able to print postage paid labels for ETSY and BOOKSWAP from Firefox. I could also print customs forms with shipping from Ebay to countries including Russia and Italy.
Now they will not print - but I get charged for them.
Is there a remedy? If so, what is it? I can't keep losing $ on shipping fees. Thanks.

Hi Carolyn, I am not personally familiar with how those sites work. Are the labels generated as PDFs? Often if there is a 2D-barcode, PDF is the preferred format.
What you might try is switching your PDF viewer from the built-in viewer to the Adobe Acrobat viewer or you could open it externally in Adobe Reader if you prefer. These articles describe how to change that setting:
* [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]
* [[Use the Adobe Reader plugin to view or download PDF files]]
I noticed that your Adobe Acrobat plugin is a very old version. For security reasons, as well as improved compatibility with newer PDF formats, you should strongly consider updating to Adobe Reader XI (11). You can download that here:

(make sure to uncheck any unwanted optional offers)

Why can I no longer print from this version of firefox

with previous versions of firefox I have had no problem with printing direct from webpages and email but with this version Firefox 4.0.1 when I request to print page the browser freezes and the only way out is to close down the browser and start again. I can cut and paste into word and then print but I want to be able to print direct. How can I resolve this issue?

Is this thing on??

Why can I no longer print an e-mail message in Safari-it deletes the left hand portion of the window

Since updating Safari I can no longer print an entire e-mail message. It does not print the left portion of the content of the window.

Open System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print > Open Print Queue
Delete all files to be printed.
Restart your Mac and try printing the email.
If that didn't help, empty the Safari cache. Command + Option + E
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, might be corrupted printing preferences.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari and try again.

Why can I no longer send email from my Hotmail SMTP account using Mail?

I can no longer send email from my Hotmail SMTP account using Mail. The connection doctor says it can't connect to the SMTP server. All the settings look to be correct and it was working fine before. I can still email using my iPhone with the same account.

Other may post it is some type of change with your ISP but the simple fact is this happen with Apple Mac Mail all the time.
IMHO Mac Mail is one of, if not the, worst mail program ever written.
Do yourself a big favor and start using some other mail program, any other Mail program.

Why can I no longer "save photos" from e-mail/Facebook??

Since up-grading from iOS 5. To iOS 6.01, I can no longer "save photos" from e-mail/Facebook! Any one know what I need to do??

Go to Settings>Privacy>Facebook and see if saving photos has been allowed.
Go to Settings>Privacy>Photos and see if FaceBook is turned on - if necessary.
And go to Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Photos and check there as well.

Why can I no longer upload photos from my camera to iPhoto?

When the camera is plugged into the iMac (recently updated to Yosemite), iPhoto recognizes the device but the screen seems to freeze with "Loading..." in the area where the photos usually appear prior to selection for importing. I opened the Photo Library First Aid which is initialized by opening iPhoto with the Option and Command keys depressed. I did not run Repair Permissions but did run the other three. This is the first attempt to load images from my camera, a Canon G3, since upgrading to Yosemite.

No images make it to the screen to capture. The familiar screen appears recognizing the device with the boxes for Event Name, Import Selected, etc. but there are no images (thumbnails) in the larger area where images usually post. The box at the top right show "Import 0 Photos". Just below that in the thumbnail area, "Loading..." appears but there is nothing indicating the machine is processing; no blinking, no turning wheel, zip. It's not a matter of the image thumbnails making it to the iMac screen yet being unable to do anything from there. There are simply no images making it from camera to the open "Import" screen. Thank you, though.

Why isnt the right version showing in "About Firefox" - after installing?

There was an important update(V.6) in a pop-up window. I go ahead and install it. After installment, it pops up a new window telling me it is important to APPLY the installment. I agree on that and them it tries to contact the update server and nothing more happens. If the update is already installed, why am I asked to apply the installment? When I check the "About Firefox", it says I am still on Version 5.... It should read Version 6. Guess if I am confused. Is it installed or not?
Sincerely, Raffek

1. You are using the latest version which is Firefox 9.0.1
From your description it sounds as if you may still have the old http://www.google.com/firefox Firefox start page hosted by Google as your homepage. This old default homepage is no longer used as '''about:home''' has been in use since Firefox 4.0
Either ignore the message, change homepage to '''about:home''', change it to another page or leave blank.

Can no longer print anything from a website when using FireFox. Have updated FF but no other programs added or changed. Get a message "save file as *.xps"

When I try to print, I get a message to save file as *.xps file, but Mozilla stops responding when I try that. Can still print from other browsers.

Hello there,
My name is Luke and i would be happy to assist you with this issue. The reason you are getting this is because your computer's default printer is set to Microsoft XPS Document Writer. If you go to your computer's printer settings and set your favourite printer as the default one this problem will be fixed. If there are any more questions please feel free to reply to me.
Thank you!
Luke
