When will Mozilla correct the printing bug with Firefox where only 1 page is printed?
There is a problem with FireFox whereby it only prints the FIRST PAGE of many sites. Searching the web on this, it seems that this problem has been around for a long time and even what the cause is. Apparently FireFox interprets the html text "overflow: hidden" as meaning to 'hide' all the rest of the page when printing. Many users have reported this problem, but to date it has not been adressed. Please correct this Mozilla (Or do I have to go back to using Safari?)

Please go to the following bug and add a comment documenting this problem:
https:// bugzilla .mozilla .org/ show_bug.cgi?id=258397
If more people report this problem, there is a better chance they will fix it.
Moderator broke the hyperlink. Please don't advocate the spamming in Bugzilla reports, if anything request that users vote for a Bug that they think should be fixed. That particular Bug is a duplicate of this one - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129941 - which was fixed in 4.0b7.

Whatever it says on the bugzilla page does not help me at all. Might be good for the techno-nerds who are attempting to come up with their own work-arounds for this problem, but it's all Greek to me. All I know is that too often I only get ONE page when printing out of FireFox and do not have this problem with Safari, and, from what I read on the net, that people have had this problem for a long time with FireFox.
A couple of printing Bugs that caused that problem with multiple pages not being printed have been fixed for Firefox 4.0, which is beta now and due to be released next month.
