Does not print, sometimes will not, save in no hard fix.

Hi people,

FYI: I have Firefox 33.0.3 currently running on a Dell Dimension 8300 with 1.5 GB of RAM under XP SP3. Until recently, I never had a problem with any version of Firefox; I've used since it first came out and since then and it updated. I use a Cricket modem to connect to the Web via cellular phone system. All this worked perfectly until these last few months.

Now, when I'm online and try printing I hear the Windows default "exclamation" and nothing happens. I tried all that offers this site and it works until I log on next time. There is no problem with any other application. Lately, I can't save sometimes even Web pages. I have reset Firefox several times, downloaded the latest version, etc. that does not. Please don't make my use this horrible Microsoft browser!

Thanks for any help.

Thank you for your help. I tried the solution from Microsoft, but it was useless; When I used the link provided the app jscher2000 actually locked up my system.

In any case: problem solved! All we needed was running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. (I thought I had already done this, do not.)

He found entries a lot in the beginning registry by 'PUP '. "Optional", such as ducts, SearchProtect.A, SaveSense. I don't know what any of them do but when they are placed in quarantine Firefox can now print, save the pages, etc.

I hope this helps the next time some dummy like me has similar problems.
