Firefox print preview

Firefox print preview has been --t-e-d-i-o-u-s-- now for ages.

I use print preview a lot and I've always wondered how to make this issue heard. I must have been trying the wrong way since neither attempts really got honored.

What I would expect of a print preview feature featuring fair usability is partially this (additions will probably be made as I and others continue on this page):

• need to use only a simple keyboard shortcut to invoke print preview
• print preview working in separate window or tab (I can see folks seem to be working on something like this already, although that seems to be in an early stage)
• print preview does NOT block me from switching through my other open tabs
• preferably, print preview does NOT block me from viewing the screen-rendered form of the tab I'm print-previewing, either
