The Date and Time used to appear (at the bottom right) on things printed from websites. For example, receipts from an online purchase, an article on the web etc.

I am able to see the setting to appear at bottom right (in the "File" dropdown).

Following a Firefox update, I no longer get that very useful "Time & Date Stamp".

This is very frustrating. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Are you saying you can see the date and time in the "Print Preview" or in the "Page Setup" dialog under the "Margins & Header/Footer" tab. The date and time won't display if it is not set correctly in the "Page Setup" dialog. Also, is this on one specific printer or many different ones? If this is only happening on one printer there may be a problem with the print driver, even though there would be probably more serious things going on than a missing footer. You could also experiment and create a pdf using "PDF Creator" at http://www.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator and see if it comes up on the created document.

Hope this gives you some headway.
