In both Firefox and Thunderbird Is there a way to change the default print dialog back to the system dialog rather than the one-stop printing option? I was able to change this setting in previous versions of both but since updating, I can not locate the setting or remember how to do it. Thank you

In Firefox:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox. The moderators would like us to remind you that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste print.prefer_system_dialog and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the preference to switch the value from false to true

(No idea about Thunderbird.)
