Firefox crashes when I try to Print

Post by mcapehart »

A few days ago I starting having problems with printing while using Firefox. This problem happens with every type of print job I have attempted - java based sites, Outlook.com webmail and other sites. I removed Firefox and installed it again with no change. I checked extensions (none) and plugins (3 std plugins). I can print from Chrome and Edge without any problem. One of the Real Estate sites, I print from, works best in Firefox. Is anyone having problems printing in Firefox? Was this caused by the most recent update? Is there a work around or fix? Thanks!

Have you tried starting Firefox in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
If no improvement using Safe Mode, do you have the same problem if you create a new profile and test it with no extensions or non-default themes installed?

The most recent update to version 58.0.2 fixed a crashing during printing issue.

If you don't have 58.0.2, make the update.
