In fact the Firefox print dialog does not seem to work at all like the
print dialog in other Gnome applications:

Example:
1. In Firefox, the default file type is PostScript, while in Gedit it is PDF.
2. In Firefox the default file name is empty ".ps", while in Gedit it is 
"print.pdf".
3. In Firefox, the print dialog does not remember any settings unlike the 
dialog in Gedit. If you for example choose in the Firefox dialog to make a 
two-sided print, nothing of it is left when you restart Firefox. In Gedit every 
change to any optio is saved - if you once choose to e.g. make a two-sided 
print, all prints will be two-sided until the option is changed again.

In my opinion Firefox should implement the print dialog in the same way
as other Gnome/GTK apps do. The behaviour of e.g. Gedit is more correct
and closer to the principles for example described in the Gnome User
Interface Guidelines.
