Even though it is shown in about:config firefox shows no printer when I want to print something.

This has been a problem for some time. Why don't you guys concentrate on getting Firefox right rather than adding more useless crap. I would just like to be able to print, I don't need the other crap. Why write 10,000 lines of code to automatically find a printer when people can open up the preferences and just type in their printer. I realize most Firefox users are dumb asses, but surely they know which printer they have. This is Microsoft windows thinking, where you believe the software has to do everything and the user just has to sit there with a blank stare while the computer decides for them everything they need.

Firefox simply ain't a usable browser under linux anymore, try chrome or something else but firefox has become a disaster. SLow, no print support , every other week a new version with unwanted new buggy features without ever fixing the bugs in existing versions and keeping the existing bugs in new versions alive.
