[Vince]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008041514 Firefox/3.0b5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008041514 Firefox/3.0b5

When printing a tbody content with FF2, that content was dispatched on multi pages, if longer than a single page.
FF3b5 does not dispatch overflow content on a second page, it just hides it and show tfoot on second page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.use an HTML code that have a <thead> ... <tbody> ... <tfoot> content where tbody content is longer than one printing page.
2. For example, using Firefox 3, go to http://www.onanga.com/tbody_print_failure_ff3.html and see a print preview. See how the tbody content is not paginated
3. try the same page and print preview with Firefox 2, and see how the tbody is paginated and tbody thead is repeated.
Actual Results:  
printing overflow content of tbody is hidden

Expected Results:  
printing overflow of tbody content should be paginated

This seems to be similar to bug 386329 (which was filed in June 2007 for Firefox 2.0)
