The print icon no longer bring up the print box, which is the box that appears when clicking on "File" "Print". Instead, it brings up a new webpage with an image of what is to print. That is more cumbersome and takes more steps. Even though I can print from that page, I also have to back out of that new page when

I am done. I am using Windows 8.

Sorry, that is a new "feature" in Firefox 29.0.

You could use {Ctrl + P} to initiate printing and not see the Print Preview window, but beyond that I don't have a solution for you that involves an easy way to revert to the previous action of that button.

I use an extension named Print / Print Preview that adds a contextual menu entry for both Print and Print Preview. I don't like wasting the toolbar space for a button, when I can print via a context menu item (something that was left out of Firefox since the beginning, IMO).

The benefit of the previous print icon was it gave our employees a single click to pull up the print menu. Now they have to go through a more complex method, albeit just a couple of keystrokes. Why not have two types of print icons - the current one that retrieves the print menu directly? That allows the user to choose what best fits them.

Thanks, Andy
