Mike,
Firefox 3 (even the latest release I tested) has serious printing
issues
that have prevented our organization from migrating.
Character spacing is way off on the printout, dpending on the font
used on a webpage (like courier) characters become even non-readable.

We have web based applications that generate invoices, packing lists,
etc.
That are printed via webbrowser to a PDF (Acrobat). Same problem with
direct
print to a laser printer however.
Firefox 2 printing works perfectly (so does IE ;-))   Firefox 3 is a
disaster.
So I would urge to not discontinue support for Firefox 2 until the
Firefox 3
printing issues are resolved.

thanks
Volker
