printing PDFs through Firefox 103 (July 30, 2022)

I downloaded/updated Firefox a couple days ago to 103.0 64 bit for MAC. Today, I tried printing out shipping labels (PDFs) through 2 different sites...EBAY and Shipstation/Paypal.....and the labels came out unusable due to faulty formatting of scan codes, bar codes, images etc

I am attaching a photo of some of the labels and circled in red things that are not coming out correctly.

These PDFs are printing out correctly through Safari and the MAC system printing.

You guys have a big problem. Please fix it.

Yes, I learned yesterday after 3 reports from other Mac users that Firefox 103 has a known issue printing PDFs with embedded images on Mac OS: the image are scaled too large so you only see a portion of them within their allotted space.

There is a bug on file with the developers already, so I'm hoping for a fix by next month's release of Firefox 104.

Until then... I have not yet learned of a workaround. For now, I think it's best for Mac users to print PDFs from Preview, Acrobat, or Safari until this is sorted out. If you need to switch your default handling from viewing in a tab to launching in one of those programs, this article has the steps: View PDF files using Firefox’s built-in viewer.
