I have a div with 2 divs inside of it, each with a ul of content, so it looks like two columns in the view. I'm using window.print and css to print these out, Chrome and Safari work fine, but Firefox is turning the 2 columns into 1.

I've tried column-count, column-fill, float (left/right for diff divs), min-width: 0 / min-height: 0, and I can't seem to get the 2 columns to appear.

Anyone have any other suggestions for how to get this to work?

See this support article. How do I create a screenshot of my problem? It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.

Then use the Browse .... button below the Post a Reply text box to upload the screenshot.

So the answer the-edmeister was that min-width was squeezing the content into weird shapes. i set min-width: 0px; and then set a width of like 500px and the content came out fine. this was such a weird but -- thanks for yoru help!
