User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0 Build ID: 20161125214341 Steps to reproduce: Please add "Preview" button to Firefox print dialog. Very often users want to preview pages before printing (after playing with print options). But at now "Preview" and "Print" is separate items in Firefox menu and I can't do preview from Print dialog window.
Component: Untriaged → Print Preview
Product: Firefox → Core
We should probably just remove Print Preview from the File menu and make Print do Print Preview instead, like we already do for Print in the "hamburger menu". From an implementation point-of-view, creating a Print Preview presentation from within a modal Print dialog is going to be really hard to get working correctly.
In Print preview window we can't change any print settings, only select printer and page orientation. In Print window there are much more print settings. So this settings is unavailable in "hamburger menu" too, they are available only after "Print" button pressed and we see separate Print window, but can't preview from it after change settings (for example, page header/footer, print backgrounds, etc). So will be good to see "Apply" or "Preview" button to "Print" modal window that returns to preview with applied settings.
