I can't reproduce this problem with FF 1.0 and XP and this page. Could the
contents of the page you are previewing make a difference?

No, it happens on any page... at least I didn't find yet any exception.

When I go to "File/Print Preview" the standard menu bar and Navigation bars
disappear and I can't get them back. I have to restart FireFox. This is
confirmation of a problem as reported. This is on PC, Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

Using print preview to print works fine for me using Firefox 2.0.0.3 on Windows XP. If you are able to reproduce this bug on Firefox 2.0.0.3 or later and using a new profile, please reopen this bug.
