As others already have mentioned, the issue might only be partially firefox's fault. Meaning that webpage that wants to be printable should normally have to provide a print layout and if it doesnt then it is up to the browser to make a best guess at how to render it correctly for printing. Sadly the modern web has a huge amount of web content (sticky headers, floating elements, shadow/hidden elements, and so on) that can make it really hard to interpret pages suitable for printing.
That said, that doesnt mean that there is no room for improvement to firefox's "best guess".
