Incomplete printing up to second bullet of Module 3 then the footer followed by a blank page (with just the web site background I think. It should go up to module 12 and several appendixes. Tried shrink/no shrink. Tried landscape but that gives a total muddle. Tried print/No print background images. Print Preview gives same result. Tried Disabling AVG anti virus and firewall - no change. Prints fine with IE8. I've just started using FireFox. It is fast and does not seem to crash unlike IE8/9. A button to open a site in IE would be a good workaround.

Caused by a long standing bug in the Firefox core code. IMO, caused by crappy coding of the page or not providing a media=print CSS style sheet. People who do want to print a page don't need web site navigation menus or "buttons" to leave that page - that stuff doesn't need to be printed to paper.

IETab2 and IE View extensions will give you that option in the contextual menu. Use IETab to have the page open in a new tab within Firefox, or IE View to open IE with the page.
