Why I can't see the preview of what I print in MAC?
On windows i had a preview and I knew how % to do to scale properly.
Mac doesn;t have this, and I very angry because I never now how it print my document this time,
and I print, print and print and at the end I do print screen and edit it in Photoshop, where I have a printing preview!!!

Hi studio6, on Mac, I think the idea is that preview is integrated into the Print dialog instead of a separate screen like Windows and Linux. Is that not true on your version of MacOS?

I think you can still use Firefox's built-in print preview screen on Mac if you use an add-on to add a button for it. For example:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/preview-print-button/

Or if you want something with a few more tricks up its sleeve, my add-on for making unprintable page layouts a bit more printable:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/printable-the-print-doctor/

Jscher2000, no Mac does not automatically give you a preview. Also, those two suggestions you gave are for Firefox and do not work on Thunderbird.

I have the same problem too and it's infuriating. I cannot find an add-on for the Mac version to give me the same Print Preview capability I had on my Windows version.
