Firefox no longer previews print on a new tab?

It used to be like this: when u selected a file to print (for exemple: a .pdf attached in email) it opened in a new tab, with a preview. Not it seems this is not happening, and when i select it to print, it just download the file. There's a lot of files that i don't want to download, i just want them to be printed. How should i do?

I'm on macOS using firefox 85

Thank you.
