55 breaks our css
We are a manufacturer with distribution warehouses in Texas, California, Kentucky, Florida, and New Jersey. We use Firefox to run our shipping software at each of these warehouses.
As of the version 55 32-bit update, the CSS no longer works properly for the printed documents that ship with our orders.
We have tested with other versions, and it does work properly (52.3.0, 54, 57.0b3, 58.0a1)
How can we go about fast forwarding past 55 at an enterprise level so our shipping documents print properly again?

If you do not want to use beta software, and you prefer Firefox 55-56 over other browsers that do not have this problem (such as the Firefox 52 Extended Support Release -- ESR):
The table border bug occurs when a table has border-collapse:collapse. Using the default border-collapse behavior can lead to unattractive double-borders (or gaps in single borders), so I believe you need to set cellspacing="0" on those tables; I don't think there is another CSS solution.
Such a change could be applied by modifying your templates, or by letting users modify the page in their browser at print time. Based on simple test pages, the required script is brief; I haven't tested your pages, obviously. However, even a brief script may be inconvenient to apply:
var tbls=document.querySelectorAll('table');
for (var i=0; i<tbls.length; i++) {
tbls[i].setAttribute('cellspacing', '0');
tbls[i].style.borderCollapse = 'unset';
}
The modification can be applied manually using a bookmarklet, or automatically using a user script engine such as Greasemonkey, Tampermonkey, or Violentmonkey.

just throwing it into the mix - firefox 56 will be released tomorrow... maybe check if it also contains the fix.
Philipp,
Thank you fro the reply. We will wait for the new update and hope for the best!
Cheers! Mark
Could you be more specific about the problem?
For example, if tables that continue onto a second page have no borders on that continuation page: That is fixed in Firefox 57 but will remain a problem in Firefox 56.
jscher2000,
Tables not continuing after the first page is our biggest problem.
Thank you for the info.

That should not be hard to do at all. I will add the script, push the update of our code and report back early tomorrow with the results.
Thank you!
jscher2000,
Sorry for the late reply. We added the code you provided earlier to our print button event handlers and seems to have fixed us up nicely!
Thank you so much for your fast replies and helping us get back up and going!
Glad to hear it's working and sorry that it's necessary!
