Headers & Footers

Firefox gives you the ability to customize the headers and footers of your print job in several ways. Information can be placed in the left hand corner, the center, and the right hand corner on the top (header) and bottom (footer) of the page. Any of the following items, selected via drop-down menu, can be placed in any or all of the six locations provided.

  • --blank--: If selected, nothing will be shown.

  • Title: The title of the web page will be shown.

  • URL: The entire URL of the web page will be shown.

  • Date/Time: The current date and time will be shown.

  • Page #: The page number (i.e., 3) of the current print job will be shown.

  • Page # of #: Similar to Page #, this will not only display the number of the current page but also the total number of pages in the current print job (i.e., 1 of 2).

  • Custom...: When this is selected, a message will display prompting you to enter custom text to be printed. This option can prove to be very useful in certain situations.
