User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 4.4; Tablet; rv:44.0) Gecko/44.0 Firefox/44.0 Build ID: 20160210083852 Firefox for Android Steps to reproduce: In READ MODE, PDF PRINTOUT IS COVERED-OVER at bottom of EACH PDF PRINTOUT PAGE by Firefox READER TOOLS FLOATING ELEMENT FRAME REMNANT: PRINTOUT OBSCURED. This occurs EVERY TIME a longer web page, such as most blogs or Wikipedia pages, etc., is activated in Firefox READER MODE and (from the Firefox "Page"->"Save as PDF" menu option) "Save as PDF" is executed: the RESULTING PDF in EVERY case has bottom-of-each-page-of-PDF obstructed (layered-over) or obscured by an artifact / remnant of the Firefox Reader Mode Floating Element Tools bar. Actual results: PRINTOUT OBSCURED. This occurs EVERY TIME a longer web page, such as most blogs or Wikipedia pages, etc., is activated in Firefox READER MODE and (from the Firefox "Page"->"Save as PDF" menu option) "Save as PDF" is executed: the RESULTING PDF in EVERY case has bottom-of-each-page-of-PDF obstructed (layered-over) or obscured by an artifact / remnant of the Firefox Reader Mode Floating Element Tools bar. Expected results: CLEAN, unobstructed, free from Firefox Reader Mode Floating Toolbar Element remnants or artifacts should result in saved PDF file. The Firefox Reader Mode Floating Toolbar WAS A BAD IDEA IN THE FIRST PLACE, as it offers very limited functionality and CAUSES SEVERE DAMAGE to each and every page of a PDF printout by obstructing a portion of the bottom of each page of the PDF. This Reader Mode Floating Element should be REMOVED ENTIRELY and the functions that are on it should be relegated to a much more time-proven stable location: a regular Firefox Tools submenu. THIS PROBLEM HAS REMAINED UNFIXED IN THE MANY PAST VERSIONS OF FIREFOX and continues to be one of Firefox's major drawbacks.
