Using "Print using system dialogue" as default in Firefox

+7

I'd like Firefox to automatically use the "Print using the system dialogue" setting:

Screenshot of the Firefox print dialogue

In older versions, I could use

print.tab_modal.enabled = false 

in about:config to automatically get the normal system print dialogue, but this options no longer works in Firefox 97.

(in case it matters, my operation system is macOS 11.6)

Good news! With Firefox Nightly 102.0a1 there is now an option in about:config called

print.prefer_system_dialog

If this is set to true, the system print dialogue will be used automatically.
