webpage doesn't print completly
If I pull up a webpage on both firefox and internet explorer, the IE browser prints all pages, everything I see....yet the firefox only prints some of it. As an example, I pulled up the Maryland Renaissance festival, general info, and the "food at the faire" page. IE prints 5 pages, and all the information. Firefox print preview only shows 3 pages and the 3 pages show the same info that IE has through 3 pages. When printed, sure enough, I get only 3 pages with Firefox. I have the most current version and the computer is brand new, windows 10. Printer is also very new, Brother black and white laser printer.

Actually, with your description, the page was easy to find: https://www.rennfest.com/food-at-the-faire
This is a problem we've started seeing more. The page is laid out using a recently standardized display property: flex. Firefox can't yet paginate flex elements, they are one block that runs off the bottom of the page.
One sort-of workaround is to select the entire page contents (Ctrl+a) then print the selection using Ctrl+p and clicking Selection in the page range. This leads to ugly page breaks, but at least you get some page breaks...
Wish I had a better solution.

There are some web pages that contain elements Firefox does not paginate correctly. Instead of breaking the content into multiple pages, the content just runs off the bottom of one of the pages, never to be seen again. Over time, several different style rules have been discovered to cause this problem, but fixing them seems to take a long time because printing gets lower priority than screen render. (Insert <sigh> here, for those of us who need to print things.)
Could you give a link to the page? Then we could diagnose the particular situation and perhaps provide a workaround.
