I've confirmed this problem on Windows XP as well as Mac OS X (10.5.8).

Firefox has some printing bugs that appear when the page designer uses certain style rules. There's no immediate prospect that Firefox will be fixed, but of course mail.live.com could be changed at any time. Until then, you can use the Stylish extension to override the styles on mail.live.com, and many other sites that could use a tweak.

If you're inclined to try this:

(1) Install Stylish

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108/

(2) Add a new user style

Tools > Add-ons > User Style tab > Write New Style button

Give it any name you like (e.g., Fix Hotmail Printing) and then copy and paste the following style rule text into the large edit area:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("mail.live.com") {

 .PrintContent .ReadMsgBody .ExternalClass {display:block !important}

}

---

Compare with my screen shot for reference.

Explanation: this overrides the style from display:inline-block back to display:block.

Works for me. Any luck?

Thank you so much jscher2000. Your tips is really helpful.

Now I can print my Live mail from firefox without any problem.

This fix resolved the problem with Firefox printing extra pages when using Hotmail (but no problem experienced when printing via IE browser)?

[Using Win7 - 32 bit & Firefox v3.6.10]

For example, it was printing then email header only on 1st page (with balance of page blank), email content on the 2nd page, and a blank page for 3rd page.

Excellent advice...thank you!

my solution is to just stop using firefox and switch to internet explorer ..it works just fine
