Today when i try to print an invoice/estimate - it is downloading the document first & then opening as a seperate PDF file, to then print - is there a setting changed that i don't know about? I have used FIREFOX browser for along time.

    ALL GOOD - there was a setting in FIREFOX for pdf to go to default, instead of "open in firefox". all fixed now

    maybe Firefox did an update - I would look in the settings in there first

    Hi @Sonya Herbert

    I don't use Firefox regularly myself but I've just tried it out this morning (screen recording example below) and it seems to be in-line with how it works on Google Chrome ie. the PDF generates in a separate tab which you can then print to your local printer.

    Is the below what you're experiencing in Firefox and if so, is that different to how its been previously?

    that is different to how mine is operating. It'll download (icon at the top of reckon shows it's downloading) - and then the PDF opens into another browser all together to then print from. Above is how mine used to work. so not sure if someone has accidently changed settings on me or not.
