Using "Use System Dialogue Box" to open a webpage as a PDF in Preview results in printing, not saving.

Firefox Print

I'm using 2019 MacBook Pro 16" with OS Tahoe 26.5.1. When I click on "Print using system dialogue box" it takes me to the Mac print dialogue box as expected. When I select the option to open the page as a PDF in the Preview app, it sends it to my default printer to print instead. Very strange behavior. It only started doing this in the past week after installing the latest Firefox update (152.0 (64-bit)). I haven't downloaded any new programs and it happened well after the last OS update. I've reset my printer settings in Firefox, I've tried repeating it in "Troubleshoot Mode." No luck. The error doesn't happen in other applications like Mail App or Safari. Thank you for any insight or fix you can think of.

This looks like a bug with 152.x on latest Tahoe versions for some — would you be able to assist tracking down what might have been the culprit?

(Also, if you can confirm downloading the separate Firefox Nightly nightly.mozilla.org which comes with its own clean slate and isolated profile to verify it's still broken for you on the current build? Thanks!)

Actually this will be resolved right in the next update, the bug is tracked in: bugzilla.mozilla.org/2047850 — and already fixed. New release v152.0.1 will start rolling out soon.
