TEMP Solution found by installing this instead:
http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-1.0.8&os=linux&lang=en-US

Also getting by with using plain "mozilla" browser.

I'm asking the developers of the site I use that has the printing problem
(wfrmls.com) to create a non-password protected test case so the Firefox team
has something to recreate the bug in 1.5.0.3.
