Any "Right Click Print" Add-Ons that Work with Quantum?

Just tried the Firefox update and noticed I don't have a "Print" option when I right click. I went to the Add-Ons store and saw that RC Print and others are reported to not be compatible with Firefox's latest and greatest. Are there any right-click add ons that do work?

Adds a Print contextual menu item, along with having other "Print" features attached. The only WE that I am aware of that has a "Print" contextual menu item, although there may be other WE's that do offer it.

Is it really required when you already have options available ?

Ctrl+P (for shortcut)  or File-> Print   or Menu -> Print  .You can even use Menu -> Customize  to place the print button wherever you want.

Both of those recommendations require you to leave the mouse to perform the function. That's just another step that was avoidable under the previous versions of Firefox when add ons such as "RC Print" were compatible.

Some actions result in overlaying the menu toolbar, ie: no "file" option. I am thinking specifically of using the "more/ print" option in Yahoo Mail. Right click context containing print / preview options are simply more convenient in every way.

Of all the features that they nuked yet again, this seems trivial. Someone said put it anywhere, not sure you have to leave mouse. I am still finding disabled items and may have to downgrade or switch. Like taskbar, search list, search submenus, context menu. Gee move mouse and click a print button or highlight a word rclick search images or bing or imdb. looks like even session manager, so this quantum will be crash free?

It appears you don't print much if you think the absence of the right-click print option is "trivial". When another step--even two--is required to perform a function that existed previously, it's going "backward" IMO.

True as seldom as possible, why murder trees unless absolutely necessary, but didn't the guy say put a button anywhere? Seems like less steps RClick and select print or move mouse and press print?

Frankly I don't know. I deleted Firefox a few weeks ago in favor of Opera and haven't looked back.

I think I might just have to go back to IE. FFx does this constantly and have always said resistance is futile so maybe time to go ie again

Use add-on "Print Edit WE". Then a rightclik context menu shows the old print preview option. Output page content size can then be controlled with a percent selection.
