I have Win XP, SP3, FF 31.0

For example, in Internet Explorer, the Preview mode offers a button to disable the printing of headers + footers, just at the click of one button.

Whereas in Firefox, I see Page Setup, where you can choose to "Blank-out" these areas: NorthWest North NortEast SouthWest South Southeast ...header-footer areas of the printout page.

But I don't see an option for Blanking ALL the header/footer areas.

Am I missing something? is there an add-on for this?

There is a button in Print Preview to open Page Setup...

Under the "Margins & Header/ Footer" tab of the Page Setup, you have to set each of those sections blank individually.

Please read my O.P. again.

I was already aware of the fact that FF requires you to set NW, N, NE, SW, S, SE individually.

Which is why I asked my above Q.

My question is all about not needing to set individually but rather enablement of all-at-once blanking.

Check out I.E. to see how "all-at-once" blanking can be convenient, at those times when you need it that way.

I even find myself using my paper-cutter, rather than having to resort to piece-meal, and then resetting piece-meal.

What I find weird, is that nobody requested this long ago, given that I.E. had been offering it.
