Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1 I cannot print a web page, why?

I can print fine from regular printing but I cannot go into printer properties, it says "prop res DLL not loaded". I tried reinstalling the printer driver and same thing happens. This has been happening since I updated firefox to 4.0.1. What can I do?

I simply cannot print, either from the icon, cntrl-P, or drop down menu - nothing happens. Do not get the dll message. I have Windows 7.

  • Since switching to Firefox 4 I'm unable to access a web page by pressing "Enter" after typing the url in the address bar; I now have to click on the bar; how do I change things so that I can go back to a keyboard shortcut?

    I use keyboard shortcuts whenever possible but since updating to Firefox 4 I can no longer access a web page simply by pressing "Enter" after typing the url in the address bar. Can I get back to this useful shortcut somehow and avoid having to fiddle with a mouse?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Since the last 3 upgrades (thru Firefox 7.0) I can't print a web page. This is true using 2 different printers. I have an iMac 10.6.8.

    Since the last 3 upgrades (thru Firefox 7.0) I can't print a web page. This is true using 2 different printers. I have an iMac 10.6.8.

    Just read that the default memory storage on FF is set to 5 mbs. You can up that by clicking on tools, advanced and overriding the default and set it to 50 mbs (if you use lots of tabs) or 10 mbs (if you use just a few).
    I open a blank tab and clear the cache periodically, while I am working. I can have several tabs open and watch videos on Youtube, by doing this. Have you cleared your cache?
    Since I have an older computer, I've also used CCleaner for years. I use it often, but always before signing off. You can get it free...search for CCleaner, download from Pirifoam free. I didn't change any of the settings and it clears crap left behind from uninstalling programs, clears all browsers at once of: cookies, history, passwords, etc. I love it!
    I had freezing, before using the "open blank tab, clear the cache" thing. Now I have no problems. Plus, as I said...you can change the default memory usage for FF and that should help too.
    Hope this helps! Good luck! :)

  • I cannot print a web page when in Firefox but it does print other info.

    When I try to print a web page in Firefox I get multiple pages of what looks like programing information. It starts with a line that looks like this %!PS-Adobe-3.0. The next line gives the title of the website and then the creator and then date and goes on and on. It then changes to a line that reads %%BeginProlog and then %% BeginResource: file Pscript_WinNT_ErrorHandler 5.0 0 followed by multiple pages of junk. I went to another browser and was able to print a web page. Is there a setting that needs changed in FireFox or is something blocking the correct printout.

  • Cannot print a web page since recent update to Apple Snow Leopard

    After recent update to Mac OS 10.6.4 I cannot print any page when using Firefox. I tried using Apple Safari and there was no problem
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After recent update to Mac OS 10.6.4

    This is a Firefox printing issue that I just fixed for my 85 year old Mom (birthday present). Other people have the same problem so I'm posting the solution:
    Go to address bar in Firefox--
    Type in this:
    about:config'''
    Click I AGREE on the warning
    Find -- '''print.macosx.pagesetup-2'''
    '''RIGHT CLICK on your mouse'''
    and go to '''RESET'''

  • Firefox 3.6.15 Can not print entire web page

    When using the print icon or "print preview" I only get/see the first and last page of a web page, all pages in between are missing. Only time it prints correctly is when web page is 1 or 2 pages.
    Copying URL to IE and printing works fine.
    This used to work. I think problem started with last Firefox update.
    I updated to 3.6.14 and a few days later 3.6.15 was released to fix bugs and not sure which version it started with.
    It worked in RC 3.6.13

    {Ctrl + P} or File > Print = is your printer selected in the Printer - Name box?

  • I cannot print a web page while I am in Firefox. It will print a webpage from explorer, though. Printer is working fine.

    I simply would like to print what I might see as a web page on the scree. I do not see a "print" option anywhere, even when I right click on the screen.. I also cannot see the "tools" icon anywhere.

  • Firefox hangs occassionaly when trying to print a web page

    I am running Windows XP and Firefox version 3.6.8. Occasionally when I select print on the file menu to print the current web page, Firefox hangs as soon as click the OK button on the print dialog box. The printer is connected to my local network and other apps can print to it. Sometimes after a long wait (5 mins or more), the operation will complete and Firefox unhangs. Other times it never recovers and I have to end Firefox and restart it.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == I don't remember exactly - could be a year or so.

    Wow! After several different attempts to solve my printing problems , the one that worked was the suggestion that I hit "Reset Firefox" button on the Troubleshooting Information page. Once I did that and got back in I was able to print pages correctly. Thank you for all your help and patience.

  • I updated to Firefox 3.6.13 and now have no Web page previews/thumbnails when I open a new tab - how do I get them back?

    Whenever I opened a new tab with older versions of Firefox 3.6.n, I would see thumbnails of some of the pages I'd visited before. I love this feature, but I do not know how to restore it after downloading and installing FF 3.6.13. What do I need to do to get this feature back? Is there a possible conflict with another add-on or toolbar? I have these toolbars: Google, The Free Dictionary, and Amazon.com. (The plug-ins you can see below.) Incidentally, the Firefox version displayed in the "educated guesses" section is not correct: it shows 3.0.11 and using the Help menu and choosing About Mozilla Firefox, it displays 3.6.13.

    Google Toolbar Options, in the Search tab, make sure that '''Enable the Google new tab page''' is check-marked. If that doesn't fix it for you, see this for support information about the Google Toolbar. <br />
    [http://www.google.com/support/toolbar/?hl=en] <br />
    Or visit the Google Toolbar forum. <br />
    [http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Toolbar?hl=en]
    As far as your UserAgent showing Firefox 3.0.11, see this: <br />
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Websites+or+add-ons+incorrectly+report+incompatible+browser
    You might want to consider getting rid of that '''desktopsmiley''' program that has messed up your UserAgent, it is known as Malware.

  • Firefox won't allow me to print a Web Page. The only option I am given is to Save the Web Page as a PDF File .

    In FF 16.0.1 when I try to print a web page I get dialog box to save it as PDF. There is no other choice in the ‘save as type’ box. I do not want to save it; I just want to print it. This happens whether I use ‘file/print’ or the print button on FF. I use Win XP and HP all in one C7280 and no changes have been made recently to either. I looked for FF add- on to disable called ‘hp smart web printer’ that I read about in a closed FF support thread about this same problem but it is not on plug-in or add-on list. I also read in another closed thread on this issue to remove SWP using add/remove programs but its not listed. I believe this problem began when FF upgraded itself to 16.0.1 recently. The problem does not exist when I use I.E. or Chrome so logically it must be a FF issue. Its driving me crazy and I cannot find a solution that works anywhere. HELP please.

    Old Fox....thanks so much. I do not have the HP smart web printing in my add ons or plug ins. I used SWP in my problem posting and should have spelled out HP smart web printing..sorry.
    The NAME of the printer showed 'document converter'. WELL DUH! That was the problem all along. I have no idea how it got changed but I won't dwell on it. I have never had to look at those 'choices' because I don't need to change anything when I print but its never too late to learn.
    I am so happy and thanks again

  • Google fonts not displaying correctly since updating to Firefox 31.0

    Since updating to Firefox 31.0, the vast majority of Google / web fonts are not displaying correctly, including icons that are being replaced with random characters. When I view the Google web fonts page, only a few display correctly, the rest just default to a sans-serif font.
    - I've tried running in safe mode with no add-ons enabled.
    - I've tried disabling all add-ons then re-enabling one by one.
    - I've checked the tickbox in the font settings for 'Allow pages to use their own fonts' is ticked
    Any help appreciated, it's got quite frustrating now.
    Thanks, Greg

    You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
    *http://browserspy.dk/fonts-flash.php?detail=1
    You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
    *[ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    You can check for problems with preferences.
    You can check the <b>gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).
    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1 I have a problem with the website shortcuts I have on on desktop.

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [/questions/821825]</blockquote><br>
    Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1 I have a problem with the website shortcuts I have on on desktop. I have a few of these shortcut to website I use a lot. When I click on the short I get the message "windows cannot find [then the web address] make sure you typed the name correctly, then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search." I tried deleting the shortcut and setting it up again but still get the message.

    Try to redo the default browser and make another browser like IE the default browser and then let Firefox do it again.

    You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.
