#New version of chrome for mac wrong size dialog box pdf
Thank you so much for sharing step-by-step instructions that allow users to disable Firefox’s clunky, inefficient new printing interface and thereby revert to Firefox’s old ‘Print Preview’ and ‘Simplify Page’ options.Īs many other commenters in this thread have noted, many people - myself among them - have workflows that rely upon the streamlined, simplified documents that Mozilla’s old ‘Print Preview’ version provided, not least via ‘Simplify Page.’ Gaslighting apologetics of Mozilla employees and forum volunteers notwithstanding, Mozilla’s new printing interface is several steps down in functionality, efficiency, and ease-of-use - and the very folks who are likely to feel this dip in quality most keenly are Firefox power-users.įor my own part, I’m neither change-averse nor tech-ignorant: I just want to keep the clean, space-saving printing - to paper or PDF - that I rely upon for research and teaching at my job, and record-keeping in my household. PDF’s are nice, but sometimes a JPEG or other file type would much more usable. Unlocking the aspect ration would be a valuable change.Ĭ) ability to print to more file types.
I am constantly resizing to improve readability/view-ability or to optimize page count.
Some tools to manage websites w/ poor print-ability would be nice.ī) asymmetrical sizing would be nice - while some web pages are well designed and automatically adjust the word wrap to accommodate the sizing, many do not. Sometimes only header info on first page. I print a lot of things off the web, mostly to PDF’s, so the new Firefox print interface is really irritating:ġ) change w/o value (adds nothing new, usability/intuitive feel is worse)Ģ) reduced visibility – actually reduces the size of the previewed image (at least on the PC)ģ) fails to address the real user needs, such as:Ī) the printing of lots of web pages is unmanageable – either print micro-sized or have everything but the first page not printed (fails to print or preview beyond 1 page). forcing users to do things the way the programmers want them to do things. Mozilla now seems intent on removing user choice at every opportunity. Firefox was created to give users choice and let them customize the browser to their liking. That’s the way it’s been for a long time, and I suspect it’s the way it will be for the rest of its existence. The complementary answer is because Mozilla will do what Mozilla wants, regardless of what users wants. It’s really fun when you’re trying to preview a 50+ page document (such as many Terms and Conditions, privacy policies, or EULAs which most people never bother to read).Īs for the question of “Why?”, it’s been obvious for many years that Mozilla desperately wants to be Google.
That’s really helpful when you’re trying to preview a 20+ page document to make sure it prints everything correctly (for example, if you don’t want a a page break with only one line of a paragraph printed on the next page). In “classic” mode, they had page navigation buttons - first page, last page, previous page, and next page in the new mode, they got rid of those buttons, forcing you to scroll to preview the pages. In “classic” mode, the Scale drop-down had presets 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, and Shrink To Fit in the new mode, they got rid of the presets. With that said, the new print dialog is abysmal. I think this is a horrible change, but I admit I strongly dislike change for no justifiable reason (and “because Chrome does it that way” is not a valid reason).
