Bug Description

There is a bug in 90.0.0 and 90.0.1 that truncates output while printing due to a scaling issue. It was fixed in 90.0.2 as it chopped off content on most websites. Package should be updated to include the fixes of 90.0.2 as this is affecting many users. There is no work around other then downgrading back to 89.

Given that this is a bug reported by end users both in SUMO and bugzilla, I think we should uplift a safe fix to beta, thanks!

I have left 89.0.2 on one of my machines and I only use that one now for printing. While I would think one could look at that version and see what changed in the Print routine(s) with 90.0 forward (including all the subsequent beta versions) I guess it is not that easy but I did notice that even with the "Check for Updates but let you choose" enabled and "Use Background Service" unchecked it still asks me to update but I dismiss the request to do so. While this is a bit of a pain it is workable. Don't know if this helps you but figured I would let you know.

Hopefully the fix for this bug will be remedied before September as indeed it is more than a pain to have happening.

I agree with Bruce that it breaks almost every website you use which renders it useless. Lots of our customers will print off a product page from our website and bring it to us (and we do the same for them if they are thinking something over and want to do some more research on a product) and if there is info missing then its useless. It also makes us not look great because our site "doesn't work" as they would say.

The store that was having issues with it updating with everything turned off said that it asked this time and they denied so hopefully it stays like that until we unfreeze the installed version.

It would be nice to get it in a minor version of 90 or at least in 91 as 91 is only 3 weeks away instead of over a month away.

Same things here: several POS software broken printing.

In my case, no rezise, but print a HTML of 80mm in a printer of 58mm paper width; the DIV is 100%; the option "adjust to paper size" work fine until FF89 and lost the rigth side on FF89.

Yes.. I am in the same position and having to print from another computer still on 89.0.2 is proving to be a pain in the you know what but it is workable. Agreed though that after the aforementioned version PRINT no longer works with pretty much everything (as I too must print virtually everything scaled down) is not workable for the most part. Hopefully they will accelerate the fix and see what they changed between 89.0.2 and 90.0+.(In reply to Bruce Barrett from comment #18)

On my other machines I have gone to the BETA versions and am now running 91b4 which seems fine although obviously the Print bug has not been addressed in those versions either. Hopefully soon but at least i...

It looks like it works and is good to go. We need to uplift this as high as possible as I can't imagine how many people it's actually affecting in their day to day.

Just downloaded and installed 92.0a1 (Nightly) as you indicated. Indeed.. Tried Print out to a PDF scaled with two or three sites that previously with the same scaling had removed last line(s) and truncated text on the right. With 92.0a1 build all worked perfectly, scaled and printed correctly and as expected... Whoppeeee

Just so you know it appears that 92.0a1 while apparently fixing the Print bug is, in itself a bit unstable.. It's hung on me a few times now so I went back to 91b4 and am still printing using 89.0.2 on one of my other PCs BUT.. If you can do whatever you did on Nightly 92.0a1 to 91.0b5 with respect to the Print fix that would be great.

### Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request
* **User impact if declined**: Scaled printing might be broken on certain sites
* **Is this code covered by automated tests?**: No
* **Has the fix been verified in Nightly?**: Yes
* **Needs manual test from QE?**: Yes
* **If yes, steps to reproduce**:
* **List of other uplifts needed**: None
* **Risk to taking this patch**: Low
* **Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky)**: The change expands the area included in the printing. Any excess area should get clipped away, which makes this change unlikely to break things.
* **String changes made/needed**:

I just installed FF 90.0.2 and when I read the notes that this bug had been fixed, I was overjoyed. But when I went in to my banking site which has regularly given me bad printing issues recently, I see **the problem remains**. When I look at transactions, the page image is never complete -- the line-items migrate down the page (bigger white space at the top of each succeeding page) while those at the bottom just vaporize (don't spill to the next sheet of paper nor do they merge into the next page of the report) -- the bottom lines are truncated and just go missing from the output.

I never reported or commented on this before because I could never say whether what I see is a FF issue or a problem with the printer driver (a new HP LaserJet Pro M118dw with complete software & firmware updates). *BUT...* **the same print run works fine right now on Google Chrome, while failing on FF.**

Today I'm testing only with PDF generation and not to paper because I'm very low on toner at the moment and can't waste pages -- but the problem still exists in PDF, and I find the paper is usually as bad or worse so no reason to suspect hardcopy works any better.

Running Windows 7 Pro/32
HP driver is 8.00.1329.6503
Printer is HP LaserJet Pro, identifies as "M118-M119 (v3)", running on USB 2.0 port

*BTW, I did have printing issues previously (~ Summer 2020) with this banking page and worked with their tech support people on it. They swore they were doing everything right -- and sure enough, it worked fine after a major release of FF. I'm sure they had programmed ahead for that release, and this was before the current printer...*

No problem but as I only ever print to PDF it would not be appropriate for me to comment on whether or not the print function works in on-line printer. It's not that I avoid them it's just that when I do use my live printer it's not when using FF.

It's not that I avoid them it's just that when I do use my live printer it's not when using FF. Although (this is very rare) that is not totally true when I do print something from FF to my on-line printer it is from the PDF I have formed first so that is using the Adobe print interface.

Good news and thank you for the update. As I am now successfully running 91.0b6 (64-bit) in Windows 10 on my machines I will continue to do so until V91.x gets promoted to the Production version. Glad though that all is back to where it was. Nice job folks. Appreciated.

You should consider filing a new bug. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi

Please include information on the shipping labels, for example, are they simply web pages, or are they PDFs? If eBay has a "sample" label that demonstrates the same problem, you could provide a link to it or attach it to the new bug.

I have filed bug 1722842 as a result, but I wanted to mention it here since it seems like this fix may be the cause.

I'd like to rescind that, the print quality issue is not present in 89.0.2, and *is* present in 90.0.0, which seem to rule out this change being the cause.

This is fixed in 90.0.2, which is available in Ubuntu impish (upcoming 21.10).

Builds have been prepared for other Ubuntu releases, but as 90.0.2 doesn't contain any security fix and as the first release candidate for 91.0 is scheduled for later today, it's unlikely that they will make it to the regular updates channel.

I found a website where the printout seems to be incomplete, although I'm not sure if this was possible to do in the past. Learned about the site recently:

This is the way to access Google Tasks in a tab. Printing a long list as PDF, only prints the first page. Not sure if this issue is the same.

Running FF 90.0.2 64bit under latest Ubuntu here.

I think there are pre-existing bugs that 90.0.2 did not correct. See my Bug #1721895 (particularly Comment #10) where I found a note listing problems I had starting with **FF 89.0**, some of which still exist in v90's. I didn't like 89.0 when it arrived (I had written "bad" at the top of the note, and unfortunately didn't file any bugs at the time.) Most importantly, I wrote: **"PRINT PAGES fails with stuff that worked fine before!"** This definitely includes my banking transactions and Amazon orders, two things that always had worked reliably.

So there are several print issues going on -- which may or may not be related to each other. I've run some test documents by request which prove that the 90.0.2 version patches certain specific issues. But it seems the door is still wide open on some other print-related matters. For now, my only remedy is to use Google Chrome for my critical print jobs even though it too has some spacing issues in the service-providers' programming.

Just an FYI.... I was running the 91.xb versions and just installed 91.0 (production), just released... Have printed several of my banking transactions, scaled variously and same with a few of my Amazon transactions, also scaled variously... All worked just fine. At least to a PDF.

There are a number of longstanding issues with breaking blocks of content properly over multiple pages with specific style rules applied. I can't open that link (requires Google login) so I don't know which bug is being triggered, if any, but it's not this bug. (This bug was about truncation-after-scaling within each page, not division of content over multiple pages.)

... my issue was after updating to 90.0.2 my Thermal Label printer model Zebra LP2844 started to print labels with low resolution and overall jagged print quality on barcodes and unreadable small text. This made my shipping labels unusable. Now I am able to print clearer labels after updating to 91.0.
