Looks to me like a duplicate of bug 154892 - The whole of the content is contained in an absolutely positioned div. Removing that property with DOMi results in a 6 page Print Preview.

You are right; this is a duplicate of bug 154892 !! Because the bug is very old and the corresponding comments are lengthy, I fail to see the similarity in between. After a long time reading, I know this bug will be fixed in Firefox 3.0, but not certain in Firefox 2.x. However, just like some comments say, this bug truly impedes the wider acceptance in the whole world. If IE has a bug like that, there is no way that IE can win the browser war against Netscape.
