It works for me, but on many sites the printout is incomplete.  You have to select the "Simplify print page" option to get all the data.  An example is recipe pages, which won't print the list of ingredients unless you fiddle with the options.

Printing a website can sometime be difficult when this website uses too many heavy layout.

I reproduce some strange behaviour but the "Simplify print page" usually help me.

I can print this Bug report nicely.

This seems rather a website/coding combined with a Firefox engine issue than a mistake with us. I can still print pages, and they look OK.

Moreover, I don't want to print images, ads, website menu... I use the embedded "Print" function of the website or I copy/paste the information to Libreoffice.

I experience some regression about partial print of pdf invoices i get, but not sure if it is new format from my supplier or something in my system.

Strangely, if i print to pdf file, then print that, it works in my two cases so far...
