With Firefox 10.0.1 I could no longer pdf a web page. On preview, there is just a blank page.

I save some web pages as pdf files like the page showing which books and when due at my local library. After upgrading to Firefox 10.0.1 I could no longer do this. I can do it from my Safari browser. I use this feature a lot and really miss it. It's a deal breaker for me continuing to use Firefox vs Safari.

Try check Page Setup > Margins/Headers/Footers if one of the margins will be 25.0 instead of 0.25 or 50.0 instead of 0.50 etc.

thank you

Since you're on a Mac, you can make anything you can print into a PDF. Just hit File > Print from any application, including Firefox. The leftmost button is [PDF] which will save that to wherever you like.

Here's a screenshot of the print dialog box http://cl.ly/0h3O111W1k112f2q3X0Q

Yes, I have been doing what you suggested for years. My problem is that the latest 2 versions of Firefox show only a blank page -- nothing on it. Furthermore, all I can now print off the web are blank pages. I still can print from Safari, but had rarely used it before now and most of my bookmarks are on FireFox. My question would have been better put by asking why I only get blank pages when I attempt to print a webpage with the newest FireFox.

Thanks for the tip. Although margins weren't the problem, the page length was. I had occasion to use my 500" long page and failed to change it back to US Letter size. I wouldn't have thought to pursue that avenue if not for your tip. Thanks!
