Firefox print facility

I see that someone has changed the 'Print' feature. Previously, when I wanted to print something from a website, the print feature gave me the option of 'simplifying the page', which reduced the number of pages to be printed significantly. I have tried printing out 2 pieces of information recently and could not find the 'Simplify page' feature. Has this been removed; and, if so, why?

Now you have to click the reader mode icon in the URL bar first, then 'Print' it.

For anyone else stumbling upon this, here's more information about Reader View: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-reader-view-clutter-free-web-pages

Also note that the "Simplify page" option will be coming back in a release or two.
