I'm attempting to print a page(s) from a webpage. Using version 84.0.2, and see that the old "Simplify Page" option is no longer available? This was a very useful option to have; am I missing something, or has Firefox removed it completely?

You may be using the new modal print interface and this new user interface currently doesn't have the "Simplify Page" feature that uses Reader mode.

There is a bug created to add this feature to the new interface, but working on this hasn't been started yet.

Note that for now you can revert to the previous interface by setting a pref to false on the about:config page.

  • print.tab_modal.enabled = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".
