No since firefox did its last update whenever I go to print anything it automatically pops up to save it to the computer, I tried in chrome and this does not happen

ok I did that and it already says false

In case the problem is just with Google Docs/Sheets:

Google doesn't trust Firefox to generate correct printouts so it pushes a PDF to Firefox. It doesn't do that to Chrome.

If the problem happens on other sites:

It's easy to accidentally set your print Destination to "Save to PDF" by pressing the Page Up key while the blue focus ring is on the Destination drop-down. So that's worth checking.

If your actual printer is listed there, is it possible that "Print to file" somehow got set for your printer at the system level??

Not very many addons that I know about, I have a rollo printer for my ebay labels, and I have Roboform, I had my son check and nothing says print to file, I'm not very good with a computer lol I guess I have the latest version of ff I don't see where I put in my original post that I have 2 as far as I know it's only 1, this happens both to the rollo printer and my regular printer and just started doing it last week when an update to ff happened
