Why does Firefox open the printer dialogue box whenever it starts up

When Firefox opens the printer dialogue box automatically opens - why and how do I stop it doing this.
This never used to happen on previous versions of firefox

Some web pages will pop up the print dialog automatically. In particular, pages that websites have specially formatted for printing may do this.
Are you restoring tabs that you previously opened, or starting up with your home page(s)? I suspect that one of them is generating the dialog. You could check by going to each one and reloading the page to see whether it is from that page.

Just delete that file in the temp folder and cleanup that folder.

Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time

Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time this only occurs on the initial opening up of F/Fx after boot-up

Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box

'''I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box. Firefox displays gooblygook even though the file name is an html, Windows Notepad crashes, MS Excel does not recognise the file type. MS Word displays goobblys also when the file has no filename extension.'''

If you use print to file then you get a file that is meant to be send to a printer and that file has all kind of formatting code for that specific printer.
Opening such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use a text only printer to print the file to, so make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

How to choose the print dialogue box of mac in place of print dialogue box of microsoft office for mac ?

When I use my microsoft word for mac and that I want to print something, it's not the print dialogue box of my mac that open but the print dialogue box of microsoft.... How to use the defaut print dialogue box ?
Thanks

Your take shows iOS 6, but I'm assuming you're talking about OS X since this is the Lion forum.
MS Word does show a somewhat different layout of the print dialogue, but all of the same options are there under the pulldown menu (where it starts at "Copies & Pages").

When i click on print menu in certain page, the pop page loaded then the print dialogue box appeared and immediately it close down all the pop up and print dialogue box without us to print it. What is the solution?

On that website (member only site), when i clicked on print menu on the site, it normally loaded the page and then the print dialogue box appear and immediately, it closed down all the pop up and print dialuge so that i cannot print it at all. It happened only after i upgrade Firefox to version 6.0.2, previous version it worked fine.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

How can I move or resize the print dialogue box to fit within my screen?

Right now the print dialogue box sits below the menu bar and extends below the screen. I have tried to move it up or resize it, but it doesn't budge. I can't see the buttons at the bottom. I know one is "cancel" and one is "print" but there's a third - is it "save"?
I'm using Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop with Creative 6 screen resolution is 1280 x 720
Any help would be appreciated

This is obviously a bug with Photoshop Elements 12.
In my Photoshop Elements 10 the printer dialogue box scales to fit the screen every time.
In Photoshop Elements 12, even moving the task bar away (you can simply drag it up the right hand side of your screen with the mouse) you can't see the print button as its still off the bottom of the screen.
My work around is to hold shift+alt+cntl and click on my Ps icon - Click compatibility - Scroll down to settings - click run in 640 x 480 screen resolution. It then does horrible things to your screen res, but hey presto the printer dialogue box is minimised and you can print your picture. As with your Toshiba, even with the printer dialogue box fully exposed there are no chevrons in the bottom right hand corner to minimise the printer dialogue window and the arrow buttons simply start trying to change the settings in the printer set up. The dialogue box is still nailed to the top of the screen with no title bar to right click on.
How do I escalate this to report it as a bug to Adobe?

You mean it crashes, or exits?
To help you, we'll need to know a bit more information:
Which version of Photoshop? Have you installed all the updates?
Which OS version?
What printer brand and model? Have you checked for updated drivers?
What troubleshooting have you already done?

Creating Save As .pdf workflows to be used in the Print dialogue box

Hi all,
I am new to Automator, and am trying to work out how to set up workflows to print/save documents, especially emails, as .pdf in a range of different folders.
For example, I am using Thunderbird for email and when I got to the Print dialogue box, I get the PDF drop-down menu at the bottom left. When I bring up this menu, one of the options is 'Save PDF to Web Receipts folder'.
However, I would like to add a few more folders to speed up the process of saving emails to different places. I have tried the Edit option, and tried in Automator but cannot set up a similar workflow to create more 'Save PDF to...' options.
Can anyone give me some tips on how to do this.
Thanks,
Daniel.

Hi Dan!
In Automator help we read:
Print Workflow plug-in
These workflows perform actions on files that have been saved as PDFs. They can be chosen from the PDF pop-up in the Print dialog. The file is first saved as a PDF formatted file, then the path to the PDF is passed to the first action of the workflow.
So this means your workflow could consist of just one action: Move Finder Items. I set this up with the To: field set to my desktop, and then selected Save As Plug-in from the File menu, gave it a name, and selected Print Workflow from the drop-down box. That's it! When I went to go print something, the workflow showed up in the menu automatically. (:

When clicking the "Print" dialogue box..the application unexpectedly quits

I've just done a comple erase and install on my Mac G5 (v.10.4.7), because of a font conflict. I've reinstalled all applications and the newest printer drivers for both my HP printers :LaserJet 5000-GN and Color LaserJet 2550L.
When I go to print, and click on the print dialogue box in the application, the application unexpectedly quits. I can access the printers in other ways and print files so I know the printers are working properly. I just can't access the printers through the print dialogue box. This is true using Quark, Photoshop and Illustrator.
Is this an OS problem or a printer driver issue?
Cyrene

Printer driver disks were for System 9. So I've downloaded new drivers from HP. I've been advised to repair permissions using something called "Cocktail" so will try that. Otherwise...I may have to attempt anothe erase and install. Yuck.
Any other thoughts are welcome. Thanks again!

I previously used Indesign CS4. I now have recently purchased Indesign CC. I have a Mac Yosemite 10.10.3. When I print, I cannot select my paper stock, other than what is in the print dialogue box, i.e. art paper. In Indesign CS4, I could choose fine art

With Snow Leopard, the Printing of PDFs has changed. Try using the highlighted option

Output Option menu is missing from the print dialogue box

I have just upgraded to the latest G5 PPC and installed OS 10.4.6 and in all applications in the Print dialogue box I cannot find the Output Options menu so I can output a postscript file, is there another patch that can be installed to add this option back into the printer settings. I didn't have this issue with 10.3.9 only in 10.4.X
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I have looked the PDF menu but I am not happy that it states "Save PDF as Postscript", this option was available before and we had issues with some of the files it created. I cannot guarantee that it is using my postscript printer descrition which I need as we need full High Res files with NO downsampling at any stage and I'm not confident this is the solution, there has the be a better way to create a postscript file.

When printing Firefox does not open the Print Dialog window

When printing at our office we often need to print to multiple printers and not just the default printer. When printing in Firefox, however, the print automatically gets sent to the default printer and I do not get a print dialog window. I have reset Firefox's printer options, changed the prefs.js file, and launched Firefox from safe mode to check if an add-on is affecting printing - all to no avail. When I print from Chrome, or (shudder) Internet Explorer I get a dialog box giving me printer options. Your help and responses will be appreciated.

There is a hidden preference to bypass the dialog, but it definitely is not set by default. To check for that:
(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 search box above the list, type or paste '''print.''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If you discover a preference named '''print.always_print_silent''' there's your trouble.
Next question would be, where did it come from?! Some possibilities:
(A) A user.js file that overrides prefs.js at startup. See: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(B) A lock file in the program folder. See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences

Why does Firefox remove the URL from the query string?

Hello there,
I've writing a servlet to read data from a file stored on a server. I'm using an HTTP <INPUT TYPE=file > element to locate the file to be read. When I run the servlet using IE as the browser it works fine. When I try running it using Firefox, the path to the file is not included in the query string. The full URL to the file shows up in the file input text field but then mysteriously disappears from the query string. Without the path, the servlet can't locate the file and the servlet fails. How do I get Firefox to include the path in the query string or is there some other workaround for this problem. I want my servlet to work on all types of browsers.
thanks,
grant

Well you may also ask it the other way. Why does Microsoft send the full path file with the input type="file" component?
The purpose of this control is to upload a file from the client to the server. That file is sent with the request.
It does not allow you to browse server files at all. Most probably you are working on your developer machine where the client IS the server, so it works right now.
It won't once they're seperate.
<input type="file"> is the wrong tool to use to browser the server. You need to write your own html pages to do that.

Why does Firefox trigger the UAC warning each time I open it?

I design websites and test them across most browsers. We use Windows 7 operating system, and only Firefox triggers the User Account Control message on our test computers, which is a major annoyance when opening instances of Firefox in rapidfire order as web designers do. Is there a way to disable it? The UAC is not triggered by Opera, Safari, Chrome and we have made sure we have not checked properties-compatibility tab - "Run this program as administrator" in both the Firefox.exe file as well as any desktop shortcuts - as advised by several people and contributors to Firefox forums. But that doesn't have an effect. Each time we test, we get the Windows 7 UAC message. We've written to Microsoft several times and they have not replied. We thought perhaps you'd have a solution that actually works.
Thanks

I reinstalled first without deleting everything and then as you suggested. The program now comes up ok when I log in as administrator. However, it is the only program I have that suddenly won't work as a non-administrator without requesting that the administrator approve it to make changes to my computer. I have looked at the permissions and they are the same as for WordPerfect, for example. I don't expect that this program makes changes to my computer that will bother any other users.
Why does Windows 7 think that Firefox is going to change the computer for other users?
