Priniting web pages with embedded Flash content does not print the Flash content
Am I the only one that is having this issue? It seems strange that I can not find a whole lot of info on the web. I know that this was possible with either previous versions of Firefox or previous versions of the Flash plugin - don't know where the problem is. I know that it is possible to print webpages with Flash content from Internet Explorer.
Please try it out and tell me if your Firefox can print pages with embedded Flash content.
Thank you.

I do not know the reason that the embedded image of the video will not print from Firefox but will print from IE8.
If you just need an image of the page (not the browser frame or full desktop), the FireShot extension will do that. I have been using FireShot for some time and am quite happy with the results. I have tested it on www.speedtest.net results page and www.youtube.com on my system and it worked. With Fireshot, you can add notations and print or save the image (full screen or just visible area). Do not opt for the paid "Pro" version, just use the free version. If you use it, you may want to block outgoing connection to screenshot-program.com in your firewall; I do not know why it tries to make that contact with it each screen capture, but it works fine with the firewall blocking the outgoing connection.
