Could you try to get your testcase down to the smallest size possible? And retry
with the latest nightly trunk available here:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk

(In reply to comment #0)
Can't test with the latest nightly trunk - it gives XML error on my system
(Firefox won't start) - have had to reinstall normal version.
Minimum test case is at http://onepoyle.net/art/firefox_print_after_form.html
The <p> tag within the <form... is necessary for the error to appear - without
that line it works OK.
Have now found that the error can be fixed by closing the para within the form
with </p> - have fixed the original perl script so it now does that - leaving
upload until later to avoid confusion. The minimum test case at
http://www.onepoyle.net/art/firefox_print_after_form.html will remain...

I'm still not sure on your testcase. As far as I can see now it has to do with
the paragraph tags not closed. Which is correct HTML but causing trouble.

Could you try to make your testcase attached to this bug in bugzilla. With the
CSS inside the file and not seperated. And both as limited as possible.

Attachment: html page demonstrating bug

Comment 5

The form includes a paragraph not terminated by </p>
The form is declared {display: none} for media print.
Text following the form is not printed.

html example now attached with inline css - thanks for your patience, this is
the first bug I have reported - still getting used to the system.

Possibly related to bug 226486.

Attachment: testcase: form includes all the content below it

This is not a problem with printing. The form eats up everything below it. The
green border should only be around the first paragraph. But it's around
everything below the </form> tag.
