Printing Flexboxes and Fieldset elements are not spanning multiple pages
Our customer wants to print a multi-page document using firefox.
We already knew the Firefox is not able to render html's fieldset element across multiple pages for years. reported 10 yrs ago: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471015
But we now found out that this also applies to flex-boxes. Recentish issue here (8 mths): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1414253
I also found an overarching issue that is marked as fixed from 17 years ago about overflow styles, but surely isn't fixing it for flexboxes: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129941
Best thread I've found about it so far is here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26036663/page-break-after-not-working-in-flexboxes
So Mozilla people, is this on your radar? Or should we all move to server-side pdf generators instead?
Hope on one of you finds the time to pick this up.
Cheers

Ah, here's my chance to upload the mentioned imagery :)
So what O/S are they using and the FF version listed there aren't the latest version. The screen shot is so small there no way to read what they show. Needs example of what is being printed that can be seen when clicked on. And what show what is a Flexboxes and Fieldset elements trying to understand what is meant by that.
