OT: Print Preview from FF fails on this site?

Would a Firefox user be kind enough to check whether the Print Preview
facility at www.nationalrail.co.uk this site is broken please?

If I plan a journey, then View Details, I typically get to pages like
this:
http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/Journe...8_200591213747

But File|Print Preview freezes FF (1.06) which then has to be forcibly
closed.

Exactly the same process with IE worked OK.

And FF handles Print Preview OK from other sites.

I have just tried with a journey I intend to make at the weekend, and
Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 seems to have no problem with Print Preview.

Same seems to be happening on my Firefox too. IE fine, but FF complained
when I requested the print preview before the page loaded, and when I waited
for it to load completely it's simply hanging with the window saying
"Preparing..."

I'm running v 1.0.4 - and that went into 'Not responding' mode when I
clicked on your second link, and then on Print Preview.

Sounds like something odd is going on. I don't usually use Print Preview
with FF - so I don't know whether it does it with other sites.

Using 1.0.6 milestone on Windows 2000 SP4, and both of the URLs you gave show up in the Print Preview without
crashing.

Tried moving your profile out, creating a new temporary one and trying again?

No complaints with mine, just 'hung' at the "preparing" window...

Yup, that 's what I get.

I've contacted National Rail a few days ago with the same problem. They
say it is a known problem on their site that they are working on it.
Also found some of their pages do not work in mobile phone Opera either.
