Foxfire prints landscape when portrait requested for wireless printer

When using Foxfire and requesting a page be printed to my wireless printer, it prints landscape instead of the requested portrait. Foxfire works fine on a direct connect printer, and other web browsers (ie Microsoft Edge, Chrome) work fine printing to the wireless printer. If I change the orientation to landscape in Foxfire, it prints portrait, but cuts off the left hand side of the page. Thunderbird, and all other programs (Word, Adobe, etc) print to the wireless printer correctly. Everything is set up correctly under printer properties, so that is not where the problem is. Until I know the problem is fixed, I will use a different web browser when I need to print a document from the internet. I using Foxfire version 26 (User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0)

Check the printer settings, is the default profile selected?

There is a feature that you can reset the printer settings in Firefox. Look for it here: Fix printing problems in Firefox
