I wonder if the web engine development pretty much stopped, or developer notes are just less detailed over the last year or so. Those are a shadow of the former self, certainly.
They did let go of a third of their staff about a year ago.
I was reading the blog posts of Mozilla CEO Mitchell Baker: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/author/mitchellmozillacom/ What the fuck? It's almost like a (far-left) political agenda. No words about the browser, the product vision, the future features and so. Mozilla is doomed.
So you're angry at the Mozilla CEO for posting about political topics rather than the browser and product vision? And yet here you are, in a thread about the Mozilla browser, posting about political topics. Maybe take your own advice?
This new release also includes new ads, seems they forgot to put that in the release notes: https://twitter.com/CohanRobinson/status/1364172683118866433

As someone who always used the Ctrl-P keyboard shortcut, I never even knew that a print-with-preview interface existed in Firefox.
I'm on Firefox 84, pressing file/print or ctrl-p brings up a preview window on the left, printer selection on the right.
Wow, Ctrl+P has now started to open the proper print-interface with a preview! I've helped loads of people over the years complaining about printing in Fx vs Chrome. It used to be so in Fx that selecting Print from the menu opened an interface for printing (ala Chrome), but pressing Ctrl+P just opened standard OS print dialog. So power users never saw the nice print preview.
Wow. I switched to Firefox around the same time I switched a Mac for work, and just assumed the lack of print preview was a weird macOS thing. This makes me happy.

For those of us that prefer the OS print dialog, how can we stop this madness?
There's a link to the OS print dialog in the new print preview view (not perfect, but better than nothing if you prefer it)
I really dislike this philosophy of replacing the system functionality. Particularly on Mac where the system functionality is quite good. (On Windows and Linux, I admittedly don't care as much, because nothing is ever consistent anyway...)

fwiw Firefox always had a print preview; it was just behind a different shortcut rather than integrated into the default flow.

Actually, you were correct. Firefox on Windows and Linux has provided a print preview "since forever", but this is the first time Firefox has had print preview functionality on macOS (outside of using the system print dialog to generate and open a PDF in the Preview app).
Apparently this has been available to users in the US since v81, and will be available to other locales in the future. Out of curiosity, how are these features gated geographically?
What I'd like to see in a browser is a button which resets it to the UI from Firefox 1.0 [1] OS-provided window border and titlebar Standard menubar with keyboard hints, always displayed Five buttons: Back, forward, reload, stop, home Address bar and separate search field Status bar which shows me link URL when I hover a link [1] https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/web-design-history/mozilla-f...
