Hi,

I have a problem with using a Web-based application.

Before the last FF update to version 76.0, I was able to by-pass the Print Dialog tab after clicking "generate report" link, and instead of automate printing it - save it to PDF file in "download folder" (when I clicked "cancel" button in Print Dialog tab, the <<<yellow stripe>>> appeared at the top of webpage, with the option "save file").

Now, after the 75.0 ==> 76.0 update, the <<<yellow stripe>>> doesn't appear anymore, and I can print the report only by Print Dialog tabl., without ability to save it to my disk drive.

Can I have my "yellow stripe" back? Or do I have to reinstall FF back to version 75.0?

This isn't really an answer to why this is happening, but you can select the Microsoft Print to PDF printer from the printer list and then Windows will save it as a PDF file.

I tried, but it works only partially, i.e. the fonts are being rendered as bitmaps, instead of being embedded into PDF, like it was in previous FF version.
