The latest Firefox seems unable to honor the PDF pull down options in the MacOS 10.12.1 print dialog. That is to say when selecting "Save PDF to iCloud", "Save PDF to Web Receipts", or "Send PDF via Messages" options, the document is instead printed on the default printer and no PDF file is created. This started with Firefox v50. Is anyone else having this problem?

Please note Firefox is the only application that behaves this way. Thunderbird v45.5.1 behaves correctly, as do all the other applications on my system.
