About an hour ago I received a message that a new version 56.0 was available for update. I installed the new version.

Everything seemed OK until I tried to print from some web pages. It gives no error messages but the print previews and print output is completely blank. This happens on 2 different printers. An EPSON WF-3620 an an HP OFFICEJET 8610.

I can login to my CHROME browser and print to both of these printers with no problems at all.

I need help as soon as possible on how to fix this problem

The problem was solved by resetting printer margins in prefs.js. Something in the latest Firefox must have caused the problem. I have no idea how these strange values were set. I changed all of them to 0.5 and everything now seems to be OK.


.print_margin_bottom", "-1491308.125"); .print_margin_left", "0.300000011920929"); .print_margin_right", "0"); .print_margin_top", "-1491308.125");
