This is very similar to a previous post with a later version of OS X, but the fix that worked for the original poster does not work for me.

Mac OS 10.5.8 FireFox 8 and 9. If I print a web page, either just print or save as PDF, only the first page prints well. Page 2 is offset to the right such that the information is cut off at the right edge. Information is lost at the page break, several lines of text will be lost.

I use several add-ons for work that are only on Firefox, so using another browser doesn't help much.

Somebody had a similar problem and was advised to start in safe mode or create a new profile. (Here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/906274?s=firefox+print+first+page&r=2&e=sph&as=s). Starting in safe mode disabling all add-ons does not fix the problem for me. When I try to follow the instructions here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles) to start the profile manager, Terminal gives me an error message after I enter the line of text: "The application firefox-bin quit unexpectedly." I have tried it with and without the "-bin" (the error message is the same - just with or without the "-bin"), with a capital or lower case P at the end. Nothing works. Please help.
