When I try to print something to my printer, the preview screen shows the first page to print as a giant black X and the second page as a giant generic printer icon - when I push PRINT, these two idiotic characters print as page 1 and 2 - why in the world are these Icons there? This problem comes up in Yahoo and several other websites. in FireFox. It was never a problem in Google Chrome. Also the printer interface screen in google chrome is so much more user friendly than firefox

Some bank sites work that way also, or just print in such tiny print, it's worthless
