User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:38.2.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.2.1

Steps to reproduce:

Good day.

This has happened to me several times in my years of using Firefox. If I recall it has happened on Microsoft websites the most (like TechNet). However, I failed to open a bug. Now, someone in Mozilla.support.Firefox has posted an example of this bug. Here is a webpage where Firefox prints blank page(s) after some point:

https://help.podio.com/hc/en-us/articles/201019928-Removing-members

I've seen similar bugs on Bugzilla but they are all RESOLVED so I am opening this new bug. I run an older FF but the user who reported having this problem is using FF48. I'm not quite sure how to attach a whole webpage consisting of several files, so I am attaching the mhtml version.


Actual results:

Prints 1 page correctly, and 1 blank page.


Expected results:

In IE this prints 3 pages correctly.

Print output is affected too, not only print preview.

It seems to work with FF21 but not FF25, so it's probably an old regression already reported.

This bug was first reported at least six years ago.   

It is still present in 49.  

Stackoverflow has suggestions for the web page designer about preventing this.  

However I'm trying to print pages generated often dynamically by someone else.  

Help? Thanks.

As far as I can see, it is looks like to occur assertion:

If I removed iframe from this test site of comment 0, I confirmed that last assertion of nsPrintEngine.cpp doesn't appeared. But GFX size check is failed. I'm not sure that what happen here. If I get the time, I'll investigate more detail this.

I'm baffled that this bug still exists and that it is not yet fixed. Is there any info that you need from us or should we run some mozregression tests to help finding the commit that causes this or was this bug there since the beginning?

This is critical as many websites will not print the needed information and users will eventually switch to other browsers.

Is there any update on this?
