In Firefox, if you select "Print..." from the hamburger-menu (not Ctrl+P), you get an interface similar to the one in Chrome. Not sure why it's not the default. (Or File -> Print Preview)
The thing that drives me crazy about print in Firefox is that it is very difficult to turn off headers and footers. I don't want to leak information about my intranet or local filesystem structure (URL field) but the option for turning these off is to jump into dialog, a tab, and change six dropdowns. It doesn't even remember your selection. Are these ever even useful, or just a waste of ink and a security hole?
I honestly think that UI was pulled from microsoft word/office. It's been about a decade since I've used microsoft products so I'm willing to be wrong, but my understanding was that the print button was a shortcut to print document now, and the file print would take you to a print dialog
That's exactly right. Ctrl+P or clicking the button in the toolbar has always been a "quick print" dialog, while going File->Print brings up all the options. I remember some applications skipping the dialog altogether on the second click and using the settings from your last print session.
