I have the header/footer set to print nothing in the page setup and it works
fine...except when you use one of the "Print this page" texts or images which
use the javascript function to print the page.  When you use something within
the page to print, Firefox ignores the settings and uses the default (Title/URL
and Pages/Date).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set your page setup headers/footers to blank
2. Print via the print toolbar icon or File->Print.  Works.
3. Print via a link or image on the page which uses javascript to print.  Uses
the default settings instead of your preference.
Actual Results:  
Incorrectly printed the default header/footer.

Expected Results:  
Honored my preference of having no header/footer.

None

Right.
More in depth: Firefox accept your settings if you "reconfirm" your settings
(File -> Page Setup -> OK)... but it works until you close the browser.

I tried with Firefox from 0.8 to 1.0.3, both on Win XP and on Win 2000.
The problem doesn't subsist with Firefox/0.10.1 on Linux.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
