just updated to firefox 29.0.1. now i can't highlight and print a selection. I can highlight a section, but when i hit the print button it goes to a print preview page, the highlighting is gone, it shows the full web page(on which i can't highlight), then when i hit print again i get the print properties menu, but it won't let me choose "selection" in print range- obviously because my "selection" disappears when i go to print preview page. Can anyone out there help? I would sure appreciate any tips! Thanks.

Use Ctrl+P (File > Print; if necessary press F10 to display the menu bar) to get the window with the selection choice.
