Right Click Context Menu - Why No Print?
Why is there not an option to print from the right click menu? This is one of the two irritants that keep me from using Firefox as my primary browser. Why should I have to add an extension, if one is even available, to enable this?

Why don't you just put the Print button on the toolbar? We wouldn't create the context menu tower with every possible function.
Hi SarcasticWit, is that sarcasm??
If it were up to me, I would put Print on the context menu. It's not up to me, or to other support forum volunteers.
I realize it will take 15 seconds, but in case you decide to jump on board, here's an extension you can use that doesn't require any intrusive permissions:

What is the other irritant?

I just press ctrl-p. I just loaded and tried several of my other usual applications and ctrl-p worked in all and only one of them had print on the right-click menu. So, if you must have it on right-click, then an extension is probably the way to go.

Wow, lets design a browser and not put an option to print on the right click context menu like every other browser has...

The other irritant is that I can get mail in the Outlook program (not the site) to open links in FF...And yes, I currently have FF set as my default browser...

The links in the message body (either in the Reading Pane or if you launch the message into its own window) should go to your default browser as set in Windows. The "View in Browser" feature* that generates a .mht file can't be integrated with Firefox because Firefox can't decode the MHTML files.
However, "View in Browser" should almost never be needed because Outlook can display most HTML. As far as I know, it can't display animated GIFs or play streaming media, but I don't mind those being disabled in emails. Do you frequently get messages that don't display correctly in Outlook?
