Anyone else with this problem at least remember to vote on this thread.

Personally I agree and IMO it was a badly thought out change that should never have been made.

I do not recommend using an insecure unsupported Firefox 29, why not just use an alternative browser when you need to print webpages.

You should comment in feedback (I am not sure it does much good and the results are interpreted with the preconception that dissatisfied people are more likely to post so it is not surprising there are more complaints than compliments).

There is a bug filed to reverse this, but that is not even marked as confirmed. it would be a good idea to vote for that bug. But you should not comment bugs unless you are adding new information. I will add a short comment myself as I think the bug title is ambiguous and the bug needs to be confirmed.

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.
  • Use "View > Toolbars > [X] Menu Bar" to have the menu bar visible permanently.

You can look at this extension.

Hi Ezorb,

You may register your feelings in the following ways, I suggest you use all three.

  1. Vote on this question by using the button towards the top of the thread page [I have this problem too] Should this question get very large numbers of votes and view someone is more likely to take it seriously, as it is evidence of users complaining about the problem having an impact on them.
  2. Use feedback input.mozilla.org/feedback
    • I suggest make only a short comment about single subjects
      Otherwise it is likely to be lost in noise as a general complaint.
    • Statistical information from input feedback is made available to developers.
    • Anyone can see & filter the comments in an interactive webpage dashboard input.mozilla.org
  3. Register with bugzilla and vote on the bug
