When I use the printer icon in Firefox, it is preset to 10 copies. How can I change this to only one copy by default. Thanks for any information
When I use the printer icon, in the upper left corner, it is automatically preset to 10 copies. I only want one copy by default. I can change it to one, but when re-opened, it is back to 10.

Number of copies to be printed isn't a setting that Firefox is supposed to be saving, and I have never seen a preference for that in the hidden Firefox prefs panel - about:config.
Try the reset described here and reset all the prefs for that printer:

Make sure to restart Firefox before seeing if doing this reset fixed your problem.
If that did fix your problem, please click the Solved It button next to the answer that answered or solved your Firefox support issue, it appears when you are logged in, so this thread gets marked as Solved to help other users who may have this same problem.
If that didn't solve your problem and it still defaults to printing 10 copies of everything thru Firefox, please open Help > Troubleshooting Information... and use the Copy All to Clipboard button and then paste that information into the Post a Reply box here.
It is going to be a real long list, but all I really need to see is the print. preferences, so you could paste All that information into a text program like WordPad first, edit out the information that I don't need to see, and then copy the remaining information and paste only that information in to the Reply box here.
I wonder if there might be a pref that I have never seen, but I truly doubt it. That "number of copies to be printed" has never been "stuck" for me on any program in Windows, on any PC I have ever used, with any printer / print drivers.
The only time I have ever seen a "print dialog box" default to more than 1 copy was with a work application where the program being used was set to force 2 copies of some specific forms to print 2 copies all the time - one to be given to the "customer" at the end of the job for their records of the service call and one for the "employee" to get a signature upon completion of the job, to fax into the home office for job documentation as completed successfully and for payroll purposes so they would get paid for that service call.
