Is this happening on all programs when you try to print, or is it just when you try to print something from Firefox?

I am having a similar problem in Windows 7 Firefox 15.0.1

In no other browsers it does this but in Firefox I go to print a page and the h1 prints on the first page. Then on the second page is the rest of the content. Then it only prints 1 page of content even if the page is like 16 pages long. I removed all CSS from the page. Tried the following CSS fixes I found in my google search and applied them to all the elements on the page. Yet this issue keeps happening.

 overflow: visible !important;
 float: none !important;
 position: relative;
 page-break-inside: auto;

This is what it looks like:

This only happens in Firefox.

This sounds like a bug to me. Can you reproduce this with a clean Firefox profile? If so, it would be great if you could file a bug report in bugzilla.mozilla.org to make sure this gets developer attention.

Thanks!

First I deleted the profile and still the problem persisted. I then did a clean uninstall/install and still had the problem.

Thank you for the bug report suggestion and the link. ;-)

Same problem running MAC OS 10.7.5 and Firefox 17.0. First page is OK all the other pages default to the Font selected under "Content" in "Preferences" and the pages don't scale properly. Prints OK in Safari--Only in Firefox is there a problem I selected Print --then PDF-- and then "Open PDF in Preview" and that's where I also see the problem

No solution in sight it seems

I believe I am experiencing the same problem. I am running 17.0.1 on a mac that is running OS 10.7.5

Please give guidance on how to fix this.

Downloading a page like: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/article/244760

This generates a pdf that is bigger than one page.

I save this pdf to my desk top and if I then open it with either Preview or Adobe Acrobat it comes back shifted - just like the example above.

Please give guidance on how to fix this.

I am having the same issue. Is there a solution?

We are currently investigating this. More soon.

Update: this is apparently a known bug. We are working on tracking the regression window down. You can track the status of it here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=684622.

There's a potential workarond for some uses cases explained here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=684622#c23

(Please only post in the bug report if your post adds to the investigation. We are nominating this for a fix in Firefox 20.)

Thanks for your patience!

Thank you, David. I appreciate your help.  :-)

I note the bug has been fixed, and is expected in Firefox 21 so at present that will mean using nightly http://nightly.mozilla.org/

Thank you, John99.

The 2nd page print scaling error has been an issue with Firefox on the Mac since 2011. People at Mozilla have not considered this a major problem. Try printing anything at less than 100% and you'll quickly see how every page after the first page being scaled wrong gets old real fast. The lack of a solution to this issue forced me long ago into using Safari as my primary browser. Good luck waiting until version 21 for a solution. Current release is 18.0.2.

Good luck waiting until version 21 for a solution. Current release is 18.0.2.

But fx21 is already available NOW on nightly and no doubt this week will move to the aurora channel at a similar time to the release of fx19.

The latest nightly build may well have the page scaling fix but nightly builds are pre-alpha and inherently unstable. Since they share bookmarks and other Firefox settings with the release version on your computer you risk losing important files if there's a bug in the nightly release. I wouldn't recommend using anything other than a released version of Firefox on your everyday computer for this reason.

Just temporarily unlocking this old thread to add a comment.

Since they share bookmarks and other Firefox settings with the release version on your computer you risk losing important files if there's a bug in the nightly release.

Good practice may mitigate any risks.

• The channels closer to the Release are of less risk, so the Aurora should be more stable, and Beta should be nearly as good as the Release.
• Test versions should be run with a separate profile. If you want the same bookmarks one method is to copy over the file places.sqlite from the Release.possibly automating that with a suitable script.

• Bookmarks may be backed up manually (so may the whole profile) and they my then be kept safe; outside Firefox program or profile paths.
  • Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer
    Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles
  • syncing with another device would also ensure that you had backups on a 2nd machine
    How do I set up Sync on my computer?
