The new Firefox print app controls have a default of print ALL. To print a specific number of pages requires three steps: clicking on the drop down, selecting Custom, and then entering the desired pages to print. This setup for pages to print is too time-consuming and not ecological either, in that users may often rely on the default and print all the pages when they are not needed or wanted. ''''What might be better is to place just to the right of ALL a box for entering the selected pages to print, eg. 2-3. ' Entering numbers into this box automatically deselects ALL, as it does on the Windows 10 system app. This way users could immediately enter the desired pages to print. If no page numbers are entered, then the default is ALL. This approach saves time and reduces waste of ink and toner. If ODD and EVEN options must be retained, then retain the Custom drop down, but put the box for selected pages just to the right of ALL for immediate entry of chosen page numbers. Perhaps a high percentage of Firefox users print web pages to selected page numbers--can't prove it, but very plausible.

Anyone with Firefox can just click File>Print in the Menu bar upper left and see the new Print feature drop down on the far right of the webpage. Look down a couple of inches on the right side print feature drop down and you see "PAGES" and beneath that "ALL" as default with a drop down arrow to the right of "ALL". Clicking on tge drop down arrow reveals: ALL, ODD, EVEN, AND CUSTOM as category options for page printing. Click on CUSTOM and you then see a box to enter the page range to print. If you don't mind, I am a little puzzled as to your request, since everyone on this support topic presumably has Firefox installed and sometimes prints a webpage, and so cannot avoid seeing the new print drop down, unless they exclusively print using the keyboard. Is that the case with you? Also, I would need multiple screen shots to show all the steps and all the options.
