Lack of a print preview button on the toolbar

Like several users, I miss the availability of a Print Preview button on the toolbar. The reason: Many, many, many web sites configure their web page outputs so that they ignore the size and limitations of the user's printer. For instance, a web page will ignore the page size defined by the user and will just send out data without any regard to what the user can and will be able to print. This results in print lines that are truncated; lines that are wrapped for one word or so; or other types of output that are, at best, difficult to read and interpret. I have tried to load several add-ons which include a Print Preview button, but receive a message that because I have the most up-to-date version of Firefox (5.0.1), I CANNOT USE THEM. HELP!!!!!

Second issue: Size of the icons on the toolbars. I understand that this size is chosen to be the best for the AVERAGE user. But I find that I dislike having to place my nose on the screen in order to discern what icon I'm hovering over (Yes I'm an older individual, wear glasses and am somewhat near-sighted). It would be beneficial if the choice of toolbar icon size was larger than the default as well as the only current choice of smaller than the default.
