Disable Firefox printing headers and footers

[ZildjianKX]

For the life of me I can't figure out how to get it to disable printing them... on a PC it's just under page setup... anyone know how to get it so it won't print the date and URL on the pages?

Many thanks.

Try typing "about:config" in the locator bar, and scroll down to printing... see if you cannot double-click and change some settings...

Actually already tried that, I disabled all the print.print_header preferences, but still nada :-/

Not use to a PC being easier to use than a mac...

You changed all print.print_header* and print.print_footer* to '0' (Edit: of course to "" since its a string ), and restarted Firefox and it still prints headers and footers...???

Well, I changed them to blank, but I just changed them to 0, restarted firefox, and still prints them. This is driving me nuts. Using the official 1.02 version that came out today too, and not a nightly build.

I'm using 1.0.1 and, it happens to me too... maybe a bug...? Anyone else knows anything about this...?

I sat the print preferences to "", restarted Firefox, just like you, and still:

I don't know how to fix it, but from the "printing" section of the FF help:

Note: Some Page Setup functions are different or unavailable on Mac OS and Linux.

So, basically, it seems like the header and footer information is hardcoded in the Mac OS X version...? Hmmm... not too good...

Either that, or it might be embedded in the big string in print.macosx.pagesetup .....

I even tried setting one of them to one of the header/footer codes that was also used in another one of them (&T) but that also did nothing.

is there no way you can open Safari and print from there?

Someone suggested to change this: print.print_extra_margin but didn't work for me either.

Man, Firefox for mac needs a lot of help.

Here is a nice bug, open the Downloads box, close all open browser windows, and try opening a new browser window, won't let you until you close the download box (which cancels the downlloads if you have any).

Really? Tried a recent version? That's always worked fine for me, just searching bookmarks always crashes for me.

If they spent a bit more time on the mac version of firefox, it could really be fantastic and polished.

Well, I'm all out of ideas, should we just leave this as a bug?
