Can't print all frames any more.

Up to and including yesterday, when I had multiple frames on a webpage, I could print them all at once. When I pressed ctrl-P it would give the option the print all frames, print the current frame, or print them as they are on the screen (only the visible parts of the frames). Today, I don't get any option and instead it simply prints it just like it looks on the screen. I can right click and select the "this frame" option and then manually print each frame, but that defeats the purpose as I have to print dozens or hundreds of frames at once. Anyone know how to fix this so I can print like I used to? I can only assume this happened with the 69.0 update. For now I am having to go back to internet explorer to print all the frames at once.

I just verified it is a 69.0 issue. I reverted back to 68 and it works fine, but of course I'd rather be using to the most up-to-date version.

Thank you, but that does not solve my problem, it's simply a workaround, and one that doesn't exactly work for me without a great deal of effort (I have to make printing adjustments often). A better and easier workaround is simply to use internet explorer. I would prefer, however, to continue using Firefox.

Hi lanbo, I don't think it's coming back.

Silent printing + bookmarklet is the best current workaround without an add-on (maybe someone will write an add-on).

If you need to print all frames frequently and that isn't good enough, you could consider changing your Firefox flavor from the mainstream release that gets new features every 6-8 weeks to the Extended Support Release of Firefox 68 that won't get feature updates for about a year.

You can read more about that option in the following article: Switch to Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) for personal use.

There's a possibility that Firefox 68 ESR won't want to use your upgraded profile. Please see this article for more information on working around that and post back if you need help: Dedicated profiles per Firefox installation.
