When changing the default printer in windows vista why doesn't the default printer change in firefox (firefox was running when the default printer was changed)?

I am not sure whether or not this is a bug or a feature, but I was running firefox on my laptop. I then went to add a new printer and set it as a default printer. When I went back to firefox to print, it did not automatically choose that new default printer as the printer of choice. I then had to choose the new printer manually to print to. This is merely a convenience issue but thought I would bring it to the attention of Mozilla in case.

Hello bradleesargent

as i can see the note in the kb article (Print window settings) The default printer is the Windows one. When a web page is printed with the selected printer, it becomes the new default printer.

do you have your previous printer also, or you uninstall the previous printer and then install the new one and make it default ?

I think firefox must be closed when you set up a new printer. Do you have it open when set up the new printer ?

thank you

Explained in a different manner - Firefox defaults to the last printer used in Firefox, not the system default printer. Firefox will remember the printer that you select for the next time you use the print function in Firefox. Change the printer and Firefox will then default to that printer.
