I believe that you have a serious bug in this release of Firefox relating to printing.

I have been working on and testing a web site that basically has two columns defined by CSS ID selectors (menu and content). Although the pages are displaying properly, when you print a page where the content block is longer than one printed page Firefox only prints the first page and stops! When I started writing/testing this code I was using the previous version of Firefox and the printing worked! Now it doesn't although it remains "printable" in IE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit the url listed above
2.Click the "print" button
3.Compare what prints to what is on the screen
Actual Results:
Firefox prints only one page

Expected Results:
Firefox should have printed multiple pages to encompass what is shown on the screen. (this reference is just to a reference page... the problem is critical on two other pages that are application forms that the user needs to print)

This was printing prior to the 2.0.0.8 upgrade that installed in the last couple of days.

This has now been tested on both a Windows IIS server system as well as an Apache server open to the general public.

How can I roll back to the previous release of Firefox?
