print without preview in Windows 7
Till version 28 I could select a text part in the browser. Hit the printer button (icon) and save the selected text as pdf on the hard disk. As of 29 en higher, I get print preview and I can only print a complete page. This doesn't work for me and takes more time. After preview I have to select print again and don't get the part but the whole page and selection is disabled. Sometimes I print up to 50 times part of browser pages an hour.
Till now I have been downgrading back to version 28 after every update, but in every newer version I got the same problem. Why changing a winning team?
As long as I can remember I use Firefox the best browser out there. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for your fast reply.
I couldn't find “file” or “print” under menu icon. Didn't think about ctrl-p, I have never used crtl- function before. Will work for me, but not as fast as it used to be.
Thanks.
I still think it's a pity they changed the function of the print icon to preview after all those years. I don't think many people use preview a lot.
The Print button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list opens the Print Preview window. You can click the Print button in the Print Preview window or use the Print item in the File menu (File > Print) or use the Ctrl+P shortcut to have access to the print selection item and other print setup options.
- Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
You can also move this Print Preview button to a toolbar via the Customize mode.

Learned something new again. Thx
not sure which versions this OP applies to
cannot get to the Print Preview or Print Selection from the 'three bar' icon
FF 33.1.1 - Win 8.1
also, and this was my reason for searching on this question: one cannot 'adjust' the Print Selection (with 'Scale') even if when using "Ctrl-P",
as one can do (ironically Microsoft has better implementation) in I.E. - Internet Explorer's print selection works as it should, allowing you to scale the 'selection' to fit properly within whatever 'page borders' are chosen, and/or within a certain number of pages
Mine problem was different and solved.
I have a non English and Windows 7 OS, so I don't now the exact English words and how it works in Windows 8. In Windows 7, to scale the print. Ctrl-P, next to printer name is a button Property, hit this one and go for Advanced, her is a scale option. If this won't work open a new question.
