Works for me, Firefox trunk 2007122604 on Linux and 2007122705 on Windows XP.

Steve, can you reproduce the problem in Firefox 3.0b2?

Firefox 3.0b3 works fine.  However, Firefox 2.0.0.11 still exhibits the "hanging" behavior.   Will the 2.x fork be fixed?

Not very likely I'm afraid.  We are aware that a few wikipedia pages causes crashes or hangs when printed (or in print preview) in Firefox 2.x.
