Recently upgraded to Thunderbird 91.1.2 and it now has the awful print routine that was in latest version of firefox. It is cumbersome to use. The old print was so easy. Can I get the old version back?

Chosen solution

I don't think you can modify 91 to get the old form, but there are some options in Printing Tools NG, such as printing selections only, that might be useful. Drag the link to printing-tools-ng-2.0.7-b3.xpi and drop it onto the TB Add-ons Manager.

The system print dialog can be recovered by toggling the preference print.tab_modal.enabled in Config. editor (Preferences/General/Indexing).
