How Do I Stop the Header and Trailer From Printing
When ever I print a page from my web browser Firefox 8 it also sends to the printer a header containing the page name and the URL and at the bottom of the page it prints a trailer which consist of a page number such as 1 of 2 and a date and time.
How do I stop this?
The trailer is causing havoc when I print mailing labels on ebay. Ink is getting smeared from one printed page to the next.
Firefox had always done this but now that I am using Avery labels (8.5x11.5) sheets split into two labels it is causing problems. Once the top half of the label it used I flip it over and print on the other half. The "used" part of the label will not hold ink, hence the smearing problem with the trailer.

What is a Firefox button to begin with?
You meant File->Page Setup.
Does this modification apply to all pages now? I would hate to do this setup every time I was to print something?
Answer provided was for the default installation of Firefox. It doesn't account for user changes to the UI. The Menu Bar with the File menu item isn't the default in Vista or Win7 versions of Firefox, only for WinXP. When the Menu Bar doesn't show, the orange Firefox button appears. (grey button on Linux)
That setting should hold until you change it again, and will apply to all pages. You may need to restart Firefox.
