Page Selection Cumbersome in Firefox new print dialogue box

In the Windows system print dialog box, selecting specific pages to print is as easy as possible. "All" is pre-selected, but a specific selection of page numbers can be immediately entered in the box to the right of Pages, which is beneath the preselected All button. You just enter the pages, and the radio button for pages, instead of All, is automatically entered by the system. Whereas with Firefox's print dialog, I have to go to the drop down, drop down the options, select Custom, and then finally I can enter the pages. This is a lot more time-consuming fuss (extra steps) compared to the Windows system print dialog. If like me you almost always print a selection of pages, and do it fairly often, the point is not a small one. The other problem with the Firefox print dialog is that, despite a large screen at 24" diagonal, I can no longer see all the Firefox print dialog box. I gotta scroll down. So in both cases, Firefox has deemed it a good idea to make doing fairly simple and often-repeated things harder and more cumbersome, taking more steps. This is why I and others gripe about having no automatic bypass for Firefox print dialog box. But Firefox might make its version easier to use, instead of I suppose just copying the mistakes of the big characters, Google and MSoft.
