I have had a printer button from the button guy forever, with the last update it is nowhere near the same, the preview window and print window is way to small. I tried another preview printer button and the same window pops up, It is awful. Anyone know how to get the old views back

Hi

I am sorry, but I am not sure what you mean. Do you want to print directly from Firefox for Android?

If you are referring to your Windows 10 computer:

Firefox 97 finally made the permanent switch to the new combined preview/setup/print overlay design introduced in Firefox 84. So now any time you call up Print you get the combined experience. (The old preview design was removed, so there's no going back to that one.

I understand that if you are viewing the preview in a smaller resizable window or on a lower resolution screen, the text is smaller than the old preview. You'll get the best results with a maximized window.

Otherwise, if you are handy with files and folders, you could consider an unofficial, community-supported workaround. It is in this old post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1320798#answer-1415936

at Least I know it isn't me :). There is no way to maximize the window that is obsvius to me. If you hae a way plese share it. The previous way was so much better. I will look at the link you sent, are imp laying that the workaround will give me back the old view? It seems more issues with Firefox with each update. I can't even open some sites and have to go to Chrome which I am not a fan of. Thanks

Sorry, I meant to maximize the Firefox window. The preview uses about 80% of the space and there's no built-in way to make it use more than that.

No, it makes the overlay use more of the available space so the preview is larger.

It seems more issues with Firefox with each update. I can't even open some sites and have to go to Chrome which I am not a fan of.

Do the sites give an error message such as secure connection, or a blank page, or a broken page, or login keeps going around in circles, or do they obnoxiously tell you to use a different browser? Some of these can be easier to solve than others...
