When printing from firefox, the page address prints in an illegible font. Same font also appears in certain field windows in the browser.
Why would the fonts in the page address print in an illegible font? It's a black background bar with a white jumbled cartoon-style font. The same font is present in certain field windows when filling out forms. I checked the fonts in preferences and it all seems to be correct and normal. Could this be a Mac issue?
There is a known bug involving printing in beta 12 that has been fixed in the Firefox 4 release candidate which is due out soon.

Since the last update I have been unable to print from Firefox. No problem printing from Safari or any other program. I've seen a few responses to this problem but only to people running Windows. I'm on a Mac running v. 10.5.8.
Also when I click on the link in my email to activate my account (in the hopes that a solve will be emailed to me) I get this message -
"Something is wrong
We could not activate your account. Please make sure that you have clicked the correct link in your email or typed in the correct address."
Same message if I cut and paste the link. -
Cannot print from firefox at all.
In Internet Explorer, I was able to print by pushing the print button, but when opening a frame, like in mapquest, the embedded print button brings up an options window that has print frames options in it, but when hit OK in this box, a second error box comes up with a yellow exclamation point and nothing prints. I have a feeling that it is the same problem with both browsers, but would prefer using firefox. Can you help with this?Yes, I tried that. The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size. I opened that destination folder from quick time from where it said select image sequence. I clicked on the first one and opened it. The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go. When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie. The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each.
To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation? Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet.

Suddenly I cannot print any web pages from Firefox. It was printing one day and not communicating with the printer the next. Did not happen with an upgrade to Firefox or plugins. Printer dialog came up but nothing sent to printer.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== suddenly- no known reasonI cannot print from Firefox either all of a sudden. Maybe first thing in the AM, it will print something but then, that's it. I am running OX 10.5 too and using Firefox 3.6.8. I am ready to stop using this!! I like it but it is frustrating. I am on my mac all day for work and cannot find a solution to this Firefox problelm. Maybe Mozilla can help me. Anyone have any answers? I use a HP Laserjet 2300L.
Thanks.

Then documents library box comes up showing file name *.xps. Help!
You have selected your default printer as the Microsoft XPS Document Writer. To solve this, go to Devices and Printers, right-click your printer of choice, and select 'Set as default printer'.

Clarification to question: operating system is Windows 7. Installed plug-ins are:
Adobe Acrobat 9.4.3.231
Google Earth 1.0.0.1
Java Deployment toolkit 6.0.240.7

Not able to print from Firefox. I can print from all other applications, including Safari. 13 others have listed this as a problem on the Support pages, but there has been no response.
I did as benshaine posted in his thread here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/789780 I installed Firefox 3.5.10 to my desktop, printed from 3.5.10 and then went back into 3.6.x and I could print.

It's not my printer. I already checked. I've recently been using PrintWhatYouLike which works sometimes but not always. Not sure if that's involved.
I'm on a wireless network and the same problem happens on each of 3 printers. Lately this has been happening each time I try to print from Firefox. If I copy the text into WORD, it prints okay in WORD.O''philipp [[#answer-697652|said]]''
<blockquote>
another thing you could try is this: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'''.
double-click it and change its value to '''1.2''' (or any other zoom factor that fits your purpose: 1.0 relates to 100%, 1.2 equals 120% and so on; -1.0 is the default value and will adhere to the system settings).
</blockquote>
Okay, I tried it, set it to 1.2 and even more stuff got blurry and fuzzy. Besides everything in the FF menu bar everything in the header on youtube and a few other pages did it too. It did make the pages fill the actual page better, but the blur is worse than this prob so I set it back to -1.0.
Any other ideas? -
I can't change the print density when printing from Firefox. It is set at standard and although there is a "slider button" to use for choosing less or more density, it can't be moved. I can tick "grayscale". I can choose the density when printing from the computer. I have a Mac
I also have this problem where I used to be able to shrink a 2 page doc to a single page. Since upgrade to FF4 it no longer works - but you can choose say 60% and it will work. All used to work fine in FF3

For some unknown reason, I get blank pages when I print from firefox
I used to be able to print from firefox. For example I used to be able to print fed ex labels. Then it about a few days ago it just starting printing blank pages. I thought I was out of toner but it its not the case. I can print from Word and other files but not using your browser.
Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

For the past week or two, when I desire to print from a web page or email and hit the "print" command, instead of my printer name the printer window displays 'microsoft document image writer." Then it asks me to save (in which case it appears in my documents) or print to file. Then, if it works, it produces a window with an image of the page. And once or twice, I can then print. But usually, it produces a blank screen, an endless hourglass, a "not responding" message, and then the blue screen of death.

Everytime i print from firefox my text looks grainy i can print from other internet web browsers such as internet explorer google chrome. I have tried resetting the printer defaults and settings through walkthroughs on here and i have tried the settings in the print menu what else can be done to fix this?
Do you get the same issue if you try printing to a PDF printer driver -- is the output grainy in the PDF? If you do not have the Adobe Acrobat PDF software, here are some free PDF printer programs to consider:
* PrimoPDF: http://www.primopdf.com/
* PDF Creator: http://www.pdfforge.org/download
(If you are viewing the information you want to capture inside Firefox, this add-on can capture it to PDF, although despite the name, this does not use Firefox printing so doesn't really address the question at hand: [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/print-pages-to-pdf/ Print pages to PDF].)
Although it doesn't seem obvious, Firefox's option to use hardware graphics acceleration can affect fonts. Usually the problem is manifested on screen, but it might help to disable this feature and see whether it affects the printouts as well.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''gfx''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''gfx.direct2d.disabled''' to toggle its value from false to true (it should turn bold). ''This is the one for which there is a checkbox in the options dialog.''
(4) Double-click '''gfx.content.azure.enabled''' to toggle its value from true to false (it should turn bold).
You usually need to restart Firefox before this takes effect. -
Printing from firefox spits out extra blank page
When I print from Firefox my printer firsts spits out a blank page before printing what was expected.
I have a similar issue -- a page before is printed and after the actual document.
yes -- the blank page appears in preview. I was able to get rid of the first one with this CSS:
@media print {
body * { float: none !important; }
But I still get the blank page afterwards.
Not sure why, but I'll let you know if I find anything else
