When I try to print an email (Yahoo and others), I get a window , which only says "Print" or "Close Window". There is no Print Preview option and the Menu Bar, which I have on my other webpages, does not appear, when this Print window opens. How can I do a Print Preview?

By default, Firefox lets websites specify the bars available on popup windows. You can see the difference if you compare the second and third links on this test page:

http://jeffersonscher.com/res/popit.html

You can override the website's script and require every popup to have the full main toolbar and/or menu bar (if you use the menu bar). Here's how:

(A) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.

(B) In the search box above the list, type or paste feat and pause while the list is filtered

(C) Double-click the ones you want to change to switch from the default value of false to a "user set" value of true:

  • Main Toolbar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar
  • Menu Bar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar

If there are others starting with dom.disable_window_open_feature. that you want to experiment with, feel free, it's easy to change them back by double-clicking again. Just note that some start out as true anyway, so you wouldn't want to switch those to false.

For reference, dom.disable_window_open_feature.personalbar is the Bookmarks Toolbar.

Perhaps I also should mention that there are add-ons which add Print, Print Preview, and Page Setup to the right-click context menu, so if you prefer an uncluttered window without extra bars, one of those might be of interest.

One example is Print Edit, which also adds the ability to remove unwanted parts of pages from your printouts on the preview screen: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/print-edit/

Thanks for the prompt reply. That worked.
