I'm on a Mac and everything transferred from Safari, except my printer connection. I can print documents from Pages, so I think my printer is fine. I just can't figure out what to do to get Firefox to recognize my printer.

Hi mudsy, I understand that there is an issue with getting Firefox to detect/talk to the printer. I am happy to help.

It is possible to reset the printer settings in Firefox with these instructions: Fix printing problems in Firefox
