How to print all tabs in Firefox

Install the free MultiTab Print | Print All Tabs add-on from Firefox Add-ons, select the tabs you want, and print them all at once: one combined preview in tab order, then one print dialog or one PDF. It runs locally, with no account.

Step by step

Print several Firefox tabs in five steps

  1. Install from Firefox Add-ons

    Open the MultiTab Print listing on Firefox Add-ons, click Add to Firefox and confirm. The MultiTab Print icon appears in your toolbar.

  4. Approve page access, once

    The first time you print, Firefox asks for permission. Click Allow; it asks only once.

  5. Review, then print or save as PDF

    The combined preview shows every tab in tab order, with a tab list beside the pages. Then print once, or choose Save to PDF for one searchable file.

Firefox-specific notes

PDFs saved on your computer

Firefox does not let any extension open files on your computer. A PDF opened from your computer (a file: tab, such as a downloaded tax form) therefore needs your help. The print page lists those files; Choose files… opens the file picker, and each file prints in its own tab's place. Nothing is uploaded, and Skip leaves a file out with a note in the tab list.

Limits

Each job holds up to 50 tabs and 300 pages. Some pages, such as browser settings pages, can't always be reproduced; the preview's tab list marks them.

Change the shortcut

Alt+Shift+M prints the selected tabs, or every tab in the window when only one is selected. To change it, open about:addons, click the gear icon and choose Manage Extension Shortcuts.

FAQ

Firefox questions

Why can't Firefox print all tabs by itself?

Firefox's print command works on the tab you are viewing and has no option to select several tabs for one job.

Will Firefox ask for permission?

Yes, once. MultiTab Print asks for page access only when you print, and uses it only for the tabs you chose. After you approve, the browser does not ask again.

Can I print PDFs saved on my computer in Firefox?

Yes. From version 1.3.2, the print page asks you to choose those files with Choose files…. Nothing is uploaded. Skip leaves a file out, and the tab list notes it.

Does MultiTab Print upload my pages?

No. Pages are processed in your browser. There is no account, analytics, advertising or developer server.
