Every time I try to print something, Firefox writes in Swedish "Preparing" and then it says "Can't connect" plus "Firefox shuts down. The only thing I can do is to make a screen dump, paste in to a Word *.docx and print it in very bad quality from there. How can I stop Firefox from preparing to print?

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Is Firefox shutting down or crashing?

Check the connections for the printer. Also, make sure all software is up to date.
