Use System Deafult Print Dialog box, not the FF Print dialog

Hello, With one of the latest updates, it has wiped out the ability to use the System Default Print Dialog box by default.

I reviewed the settings for: print.tab_modal.enabled Which is still FALSE, but the new FF print dialog persists. (per this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1322589. )

I print PDFs constantly and having the secondary step of clicking to use the System Print dialog is very annoying.

How can I get the system default print dialog as the default preference again?

Using MacOS 12.2.1 FF v97.0.1

Thank you!

Hey, The new update removed the old dialogue box for now the extra step of '"print using the system dialogue" needs to be taken.
