it's the site's fault. it's their responsibility to provide a print layout.
If they don't, the browser has to do best guesses and FF probably doesn't try to be very smart.
And it's not worth the effort either. Printing on paper is becoming rare.
print to pdf is not becoming rare though, and requires more or less the same formatting.
true. still, even popular sites don't provide decent CSS for printing but rather PDF download.
While I completely understand what you're saying, this is only an issue in Firefox and it also affects printing to PDF.
