Print Preview NEW Question
It's about Mozilla Firefox contributors and, well, stubbornness.
As one who truly liked the very easy to use previous Print Preview, I'm concerned that jscher2000 (Top 10 Contributor) may be "protecting his 'turf'" rather than listening to people requesting a return to the well-liked drop-down option...which was faster, easier to use and, also, easier to see (size-wise).
After, re-explaining himself (herself?) to questions/requester persons, responses offered, to be generous, were less than helpful. The were simply repetitions, with no apparent understanding of the frequently made statements, that the old version was easier to use and read, i.e., no gain was made by changing, it was just a change. And, in my opinion, which was probably made by someone seeking credit for a "change." A change that wasn't, and isn't, for the better.
My but clue, with that regard, was Mr/Ms's dissatisfaction with someone "shouting," i.e., using all capital letters. Frankly, I was ready to scream after all of jscher2000's repetitious defenses.
Please, guys, you certainly have the code. Just put it back. (I'd have used an exclamation point at the end of the last sentence, but I decided not to risk offending a Mozilla contributor.)

Hi,
The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers. If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.
You can also file a bug report or feature request. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.
Hmm, maybe you mistook my realism about the situation for approval of the situation?
My approach here is to try to help users get the most out of what we have, whether that involves explaining how it is meant to work, exposing hidden options, providing workarounds through add-ons or user scripts, or unofficial hacks.
We can and should still dream of better, and users can and do suggest/demand improvements (for example, on Mozilla Connect and on Reddit).
And to clear up any possible misunderstanding, I don't have any special influence with Mozilla. As evidence of this, no one is doing anything with the bug report I filed back on March 14, 2021 about enlarging the preview size for better readability. I could give numerous other examples of where my bugs go nowhere...
