Printing issue
Apparently the last update changed my print command screen. When I want to print something, it brings up a very useless print command box that does NOT let me print what I want, or make any appropriate adjustments! I do NOT like the Firefox print command set up... I want to return to my old set up. Very frustrated! ( I will say I do NOT adjust easily to change... HA!)

Just curious, can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing? Firefox 97.0 has set off a lot of user when it comes to printing. Here is what I get. see screenshot
Firefox 97 has the latest evolution of the combined preview/setup/print experience introduced in Firefox 84. The old code has been removed. There's no going back. However, there are bugs on file to add a new user preference and new keyboard shortcut to go directly to the system print dialog without a preview, if that's something you would prefer. Not sure whether that will arrive next month in Firefox 98 or whether it might take longer.
For now, how can we help streamline your workflow with the dialog we've got? What are you not finding?
jonzn4SUSE, Thank you, That is what I get when I use the Firefox print from the menu at the top right of my screen. I hate it... I am just SO USED to the old dialog and this doesn't seem to be as user friendly. I did try changing a few things from "about:config" from True to False but didn't seem to make much difference and I was reluctant to get too adventurous in case I messed things up badly. I may go to another browser but I hate to do that as I was quite happy with Firefox until this issue.
jscher2000, thank you also for your response. I was very happy with the old dialog and it was quick and easy, also seemed to have more preferences that I could pick and choose. This new dialog, it printed HUGE and wasn't what was showing on the preview so I was a bit peeved and wasted a few sheets of paper. I am averse to change! The old saw "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" comes to mind!

I would just install an older version in a different directory and make sure that it's not set to auto update. https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
I was not understanding all the up roar about the change, but after comparing the options available in the new vs the old dialog I get it. ;-)
