After the latest update I now find that the the Print Preview option is missing from the Print button. Choosing Print Preview allowed one to 'Shrink to Fit' or choose a %age size. Very handy when one wishes to size to a single page for printing. There are some other support threads about Print Preview, but they do not answer the question or refer to the above features. All I get now is a preview of what will print, just like many printer previews. I can't adjust its size.

I can't see why the developers would wish to remove such a useful feature, so perhaps it is a mistake and we can have it back please.

There were issues with previewing and/or printing of messages that were not opened/displayed. One such issue is exactly what rune11 is facing, that is, sometimes the preview comes up blank with only page headers displaying or getting printed on paper. This was especially problematic for people who selected multiple messages for printing. The developers who maintained this feature of printing multiple messages at once deemed it fit to no longer maintain that feature and fix associated problems because it was too much of a task that wasn't worth the trouble. If fixing those problems was easier, they wouldn't have voted to end support for those features. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1353786
