Firefox 3.6 prints only part of a webpage

Firefox 3.6 (all subversions) only prints the first few pages of certain web pages. An example is shown at http://bit.ly/NNvWR. When trying to print this page, only 2 pages of text will print; the third page just shows some page end matter. This does not happen in previous versions of FF (I tried both 3.5.9 and 3.5.10, both of which printed correctly).

Besides a bug fix, I'm interested to see if the same thing happens to other users of FF 3.6. An easy way to see is to go to the above page, choose File->Print Preview. If only three pages are visible, the problem exists (that page should take around 5 pages to print).

I performed the following troubleshooting. Starting FF in Safe mode does not fix it. The suggestions at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Does_not_print_entire_page_content do not apply. I also tried resetting the printer in FF and using a brand new profile. Nothing stops the issue from occurring.

This happens on both Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit and XP Pro 32 bit.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I upgraded to FF 3.6

I have a Mac and an Epson printer. No problem in Safari. But in Firefox, it only prints the first page of a series (plus a thin header on a blank page preceding that page). I have "Paper Handling" set to "print all", but it will not obey. WHA??????
