User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:86.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/86.0

Steps to reproduce:

Clicked on Firefox Menu > Print...

Actual results:

Print Preview opened as attached sheet, that can't be maximized to full-screen (mimicking the ill-designed Google Chrome Print Preview UI), wasting roughly 50% of the available screen size (for a 1920x1200 resolution).

Also the 'Simplify Page' option is missing.

Expected results:

Print Preview should have opened in full-screen, allowing for an as big as possible preview of the print layout - print settings can be kept at the right side for flexible settings UI layout.

'More settings' should contain an option for a 'Simplified Layout'.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Toolkit::Printing' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Simplify page is back.

Edge avoids this by default zooming to the page width rather than the height.

Chrome gives an option to toggle between zooming the preview between width and height.

Our manual zooming is a bit broken (bug 1660638), perhaps we should give an option similar to Chrome to get a larger preview. I think we need to fix zooming before we can get to this
