Firefox 19.0 : the URL is included when printing checks.


Mozilla has included a native PDF viewer in version 19.0 and later. This causesPDF files to be viewed using the PDF plug-in instead of the Adobe Acrobatreader or other PDF viewers installed in the computer.

As a result, the printed checks and reports include the URL. The printedchecks also have alignment problems.

To resolve this, the user needs to disable the native PDF viewer:

1.    In the addressbar of Firefox, type about:configthen press Enter.
2.
    Click on 'Ipromise, I will be careful' button on the warning message.
3.
    Type pdfjs.disabledin the Search box at the top.
4.
    Double click the preference name to set its valueto True. This disables the internal PDF reader.

If the above steps did not work, the user can change the built-in PDFreader in Firefox. Here are the steps:

1.    In Firefox, navigate to Tools(alt-T) > Options > Applications tab.
2.
    Find the option Portable DocumentFormat (PDF) in the Content Typecolumn. The default Action for thisis Preview in Firefox or Use Adobe Acrobat (n Firefox) for some.
3.
    Change the Action to Use Adobe Reader (default) or whateverPDF viewer you're using.
4.
    Click on OK.
5.
    RestartFirefox for thechanges to take effect.
