Having issues printing a SharePoint page with Firefox. SharePoint support has summarized the issue as; ' In general, all the components listed above are wrapped in some kind of root level DOM element, in most cases, a
element. When FF is preparing a print of the page, it seems to go through some kind of optimization and try to put contents within the same DOM element within the same page. If it cannot, it will shift the contents within the DOM element to next blank page. And the calculation seems to go even wonkier when contents within the DOM element is simply way bigger than the size of one page. The result is basically what you are seeing. If the content within the DOM element is split into two or more DOM elements, then the same content does not have print issues.'
