Steps to reproduce:

I had been printing multiple page documents, and needed to provide extra spacing between combined document pages in a 12 page document I am creating. I had been using "Print Preview" to check on whether enough spacing was provided so the next page would start properly. Just hours ago it was there. Not it isn't!

Actual results:

The File drop-down menu items are gone!

Expected results:

The drop-down should have shown

Page Setup
Print Preview
Print

but only Print exists now.

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.

I think the "Print" menu always opens print preview. If the menu item were "Open print preview", does it work for you? Moving to Firefox:General since I believe this is a UI label issue.

There has been a change, so this "bug" is really a new (unpublished) FEATURE. Ctrl-p now brings up a dialogue box which seems to provide the same features of the drop-down menu item "Print Preview", and (probably) the function of Page Setup via the additional click on option. (I have not tried that, to see if the equivalent of "Page Setup" is offered there.) The preview portion is nice, in the navigation which allows both to the beginning and to the end, along with previous and next page.

So, if anything, this is merely a matter of RTFM (or the need for new info in the FM). ;^)

Sounds like there isn't anything to do here. I believe the support pages have been updated, but unfortunately I'm not sure what we could do to make it clear all of these items have been consolidated into the "Print" option within the UI.
