Firefox hangs when trying to print

AnonymousUser

When I try to print a web page from firefox almost everything freezes. and the only thing I can do is to press ctrl+alt+del and then logout then login again and startup all the programs.

Note that I dont have an actual printer installed, but I'm trying to use adobe acrobat's printer.

I had windows 7 32 bit and lately changed to 64 bit and pretty much installed every thing I had before. I did not have this issue in my previous OS.

and also I checked with IE8 it prints fine.

Thank you in advance for any help.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== When I installed windows 7 64 bit

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

If not, see this: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+theme...
