User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7 Firefox freezes when when you try to print (or print preview) a certain page in German Wikipedia: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seegurken It has been found out that this version: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Seegurken&oldid=31300643 and all following produce this error, whereas previous versions http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Seegurken&oldid=31150725 can be printed without problems. Comparing the version differences, there is no obvious spot why the error happens: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Seegurken&diff=31300643&oldid=31150725 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Seegurken&oldid=36626693 2. Click "Print" or "Print Preview" in the File menu Actual Results: Firefox stops responding. Expected Results: The percentage indicator should increase up to 100% and paged should be printed This does not seem to be limited to a certain language version (has been confirmed with de-DE and en-US) nor doest it happen because of a buggy extension. Using a new profile on 2.0.0.7 en-US will lead to the same symptoms.
this bug can also reproduced within firefox 2.007 on ubuntu 7.04 linux running. it seems not be an OS-depending bug.

Same problem occurs with the article "Wasserrad" (as of 2007-12-13, http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wasserrad&oldid=40032468).

WFM, Firefox trunk 2007122604 on Linux and 2007122705 on Windows XP. Tried both Print/PrintPreview with lots of different %-scale, Portrait/Landscape combinations, no hang or crash occurred.
Given that this is in 200x moving to wanted list
