I can't access the site to check (appears to require a subscription; I tried registering for an account, but that doesn't seem to be sufficient), but my guess is that this might be related to @page rules that are specifying a fixed size and orientation. I'm not sure exactly how that's supposed to interact with user settings in the Print panel, though, or whether things have changed recently in v119 in this area.

@jwatt, maybe you have an idea what could be happening here?

Did some more research, this may not be a problem in Firefox. The portrait/landscape option is missing in Edge as well, so it could be a standards misinterpretation on the part of the content provider.

Suggest you not spend any more time on this (close the bug). I'll reopen if I can identify a problem with Firefox specifically.
