For any given site, it's Yes or No. FF says No aggressively?¹ :) > Opening new pages for > printing is a pretty normal use case. > > But you should be able to manually add "/print" to the end of the URL > and navigate to the page without the pop-up block. Thanks. That gave me precisely what I normally get by typing ^P. With all the hundreds of pages that I've printed from FF (I hasten to add that I only print to PDFs from applications), this is the first site to trigger a "pop-up" on pressing ^P. Assuming that this modal print dialog box is what the "pop-up" contains, I can't understand why this site, unlike any other, considers it a pop-up. I don't suppose it's worth signing up just to ask. ¹ OTOH my ad-etc-blocking is aggressive, ~13,500 addresses. Cheers, David.
