I have web app that produces ~10 page sales estimate. To make things look nice, I have added pagination to my CSS files (using page-break-before:always)... this all worked wonderfully in FireFox 3.x... I recently upgraded to FF4 and now it is not working

I had this problem but found that for some reason I had put the page-break-after in a span instead of a div.

As soon as I changed my span to a div it worked correctly.

Hi there,

I seem to be having a similar problem, however, the first page break is working, but each page break after that is not.

The page break is a div that is a dedicated page break layer and the first clearly works, but the remainder of the 12 page report doesn't have any breaks.

Testing with other browsers shows up 12 pages with breaks which to me indicates a issue with ff4 as I have only recently upgraded to 7 and it used to print under ff3 with all the breaks no problems.

Even in the newer versions 5.* anfd 6.* it doesn't work...

Very very sad that such a little bug is able to hold us back from updating all our clients!
