In MS Explorer you just select what you want to print, goto Print Preview / As Selected On Screen and voila ready. How come this feature is not available in Firefox up till now?

Firefox can print a selection via the Print menu (Ctrl+P), but there is no preview possible when you print a selection.

Thanks but simplify page cannot automatically simplify all web pages and therefor select area's of interest. Not an equal solution as Explorer offers.

Maybe (I don't know IE). There is only Selection option on the Print window settings to print only the part of the page you've highlighted.
