User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:85.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/85.0

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox 85.0 64bit for Linux Mint (Version 20 Cinnamon) does not print backgrounds, even though "print.print_bgcolor = true" and "print.print_bgimages = true" are properly declared in "about:config".

Actual results:

When I select "File->Print Preview" in the Firefox menu, Firefox shows the print preview where backgrounds are already missing (although print.print_bgcolor = true and print.print_bgimages = true).

Expected results:

Background colors and images should be shown and printed.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Printing: Output' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Printing: Output
Product: Firefox → Core

I assume this doesn't happen in the new print preview dialog? The old File > Print Preview is going away. This should work properly with print.tab_modal.enabled=true in about:config.

In "about:config" I have set "print.tab_modal.enabled = true". I restared Firefox and tried to print also via the menu bar on the top right. The print preview results still remain the same: No background is shown.

Ah, I missed this bit. In the new print dialog once you print once with backgrounds for a given printer the setting should be saved, but this is bug 1692845, which should be about to land.
