In Firefox, when I select 'print' and print to 'microsoft XPS Document Writer, the "Save Print Output As" screen comes up. The file extension defaults to *.oxps. I have to use the dropdown list to select *.xps extension every time. How do I change to have the default file extension be *.xps?

That is the OpenXPS File format used by the XPS Viewer and a few others. My guess is that the XPS Document Writer program would have a preference that is user changeable.

Best to check with Windows Support for that.
