why does firefox crash printing web pages?
Printer driver uninstalled/reinstalled. Firefox updated. Tried the remedies on the help menu. I can print anything from a file but when I try to print a web page Firefox crashes. Numerous crash reports have been sent in. Any suggestions?

If you click a link to inspect the crash report then you will notice this DLL in the crashing thread, so this printer driver is the likely cause of the crashes. We have seen more such reports with a 64-bit Firefox version and in a lot of cases using the 32-bit Firefox version worked to fix this.
Did you try the 32-bit Firefox version like I posted above?

Just from my look what kinda Adapter did you install? And sounds like the problem is coming from you OD. This is from what I can see-others might see more.
Crash Reason EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE Crash Address 0x12d60740
Please Refresh but do this 1st:
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/export-firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transfer
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles
then
TEST....... If no issues then Extensions which need to be added back in 1 at a time and tested ..... Or it is your Profile : Make a new one and test ...: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
Note: Any customization will revert back to default, you will also need to reinstall Extensions.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
That is a problem with a Canon driver (cnxdias2.dll).
Try the 32-bit Firefox version to see if that works better.
You can find the full version of the current Firefox release (57.0.2) in all languages and all operating systems here:
Cor-el,
My printer works on anything else I print from, e.g., Libre Office files, *.jpg. It is just when I attempt to print a web page that FireFox crashes. Do you still think I need that cnxdias2.dll. driver?

Thanks cor-el, Refreshing FireFox didn't help. I installed the 32-bit version as you suggested and I can now print web pages as before. Thanks again. I'm not clear on the difference between 32 & 64 bit versions, only thinking that bigger is better. I'm guessing everything else will work the same. FireFox has worked well using the 64-bit version up until recently. Probably one of the upgrades. I don't know. Thanks again for the positive feedback and the help. Happy New Year, Richard
The 64-bit Firefox version has a larger memory space (the 32-bit version is limited to about 3 GB), so out-of-memory issues are less likely.
If the 32-bit version works then this can mean that this driver is an older driver that isn't compatible with 64-bit applications. We have seen this reported with other drivers (Logitech QuickCam).
