Print Selection Only in Firefox
I realize this is awfully geeky, but come on, this is pretty cool. I just discovered that you can select/highlight a portion of a website (you know, with your mouse) in Firefox, go to File > Print, pull down the Firefox menu, check the box that says "Print Selection Only," and voila, it prints just that part -- text and images! No more printing long documents when you only want a paragraph! No more shrinking and fudging around in Print Preview to get the part you want to print on one page!

The only thing is that I haven't figured out how to make this setting stick. It probably has something to do with the Presets. But for now, this works just fine.
And I know, I know, there are Firefox add-ins and plugins that do the same thing. It's just that this is built-in to Firefox.

thanks very much for this tip, I’m transitioning from Windows to Mac, and I didn’t know how to print a selection from a browser!
