Where does Firefox save 'Print to file'?

Where is the default location that Firefox saves when using 'Print to file'? When using Internet Explorer I notice that there is a 'Preferences' box beside the Print to File option. In Firefox, I do not see this option. Thanks.

Go to about:config . From there, type in the search bar save_to_file . Double click that to change the value from false to true.

Have a great day!!

Hi Jon, thanks for your help. I know this sounds crazy but when I type about::config in the address bar it comes back and says that the URL is invalid. --'The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded.'

I searched for about:config to make sure I'm typing it right and everything seems right so I'm not sure.

Is it working for you? Make sure you type about:config not about::config. Notice the difference in the number of colons. You only want one.

about:config with one colon between those words. Your example had two colons.
