In Firefox and Seamonkey, rightclicking selected text does not produce a print
option as it does in IE (noticed this as I used to use it often).

Would like to see "Print" on selected text, and would default to "Print
Selection".  Also a print in the right click context menu on pages.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click page, look for print.  Non-existant.
2. Repeat step 1 in Internet Explorer (possibly other browsers).  Look for
print.  It's there (in IE).
3. Select some text (Such as here).  Right click.  Lack of print option.
4. Repeat step 3 in Internet Explorer (possibly other browsers).  Look for
print.  It's there (in IE).

Actual Results:  
I couldn't print from the right click menu.

Expected Results:  
Allow me to print from the right click menu (including print selection, if I've
made one).

Just a force of habit, and after looking at all bugs in the search for 'Print',
I've got nothing close to this.
Bug 184152 requests adding a "print" item to the selected text context menu. Bug
24221 is about adding a "print" item to the main context menu; there's quite a
bit of discussion in that bug and it appears unlikely to happen.
