Firefox 27.0.1 w/Mac OS 10.9.2 only prints left half of webpage (no matter what page).
I used to be able to print just fine. Computer did some updates yesterday and now I am having trouble printing. Only left part of page prints. -I have checked settings -I have reset the print_ in about:config -I have changed the default font -Margins are normal

Usually if Firefox doesn't use the entire page, it indicates a problem getting the correct paper size from the system.
When you reset the print settings in about:config, did you reset the ones related to paper size?
I'm not sure how you check the printer's default paper size on Mac, but that would be worth a peek.

Out of frustration I went into about:config and reset everything that had 'print_XX' again but also included 'print.XX' this time (more or less reset anything with print in the name). I completely quit and restarted Firefox and now it is working fine. Thanks for the help!
Note that it is usually easier to edit the prefs.js file in the Firefox program folder that stores all modified prefs that do not have the default value.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
