Firefox 3 printing on Linux
Printing from Firefox has been greatly improved in version 3, but
there are still some minor quicks. The most annoying one is that the
print dialog does not remember settings.
And some of the
settings have annoying defaults. Firefox developers should really
know that people are not just using web browser to browse the Internet
and occasionally print some web pages. Developers all over the world
are developing web applications for both Internet and intranet and
printing is very important.
The main problem I have, is that Header
and Footer settings are not remembered. So, for each page
I want to print, I have to go to that tab, set
all six fields to “—blank—” and
then print. Each
time I want to print anything.
I mean,
how hard could it be to save those settings somewhere in ~/.mozilla/firefox and
add a nice “Reset” button for people how change the settings
so much they get lost.
