Print to PDF: allow selection of "single page" or "continuous" mode with no page breaks

[jhardin-impsec]

Folks:

I like to print various blog posts and essays to PDF to save them locally. Unfortunately this often leads to embedded images being split across page breaks.

Changing the page size can sometimes minimize or avoid this, but it's not guaranteed and the process is annoying when I am going to just view the PDF on-screen.

Please add an option to print-to-PDF to select a "single page" or "continuous" mode where the page width is normal but the page length is infinite, so that there are no page breaks and thus no split images.

Thank you!

This is the only thing keeping me from coming back to Firefox, that, the split screen within viewport, and that tree style tab has had to become so circumvoluted to behave the almost the same while the horizontal 16:9 monitor vertical band of waste still imposed since the web extension FF shooting itself in the market foot (are the persons that went with that still in place?  or did they go back to their mindset-kins?).

I hear that vertical tabs might be brewing, so that would mean getting rid of that horizontal wasted band, which edge but not chrome has implemented.  not llike tree style tabs of pre web extension but then nither those chrome or edge.  

I also hear that the split screen might come after that.. 

Which leaves this last thing that with tree style tabs not really there five years ago got me to stick to chrome and reduce usage to FF only for testing if it was chrome or edge or the website (or even my mouse contex menu click up event not registering from chrome being about chrome or the web site, my mouse hardware gettting metal spring fatigue, or the browser, and FF would help me there, it might have been the only thing where they started drinking another cool-aid than chrome, that of touch-screen intrusion and the overhaul of user input other than keyboard).

chromium has native model called skia, handling all its pdf previewing and printing, and I have been using that for productive selective pdf excerpts I can use intelligibly later, it even had enough margin control and such at preview step that I could correct its wrong default assumptoins.  I can still get this, even though it is losing a bit a of user control (a web tech trend it seems), and it still uses header and footer web page source related informative meta informatoin that allows me to retrace where the excerpt came from, long after my multtab work day, searching and reading the web.

I welcome your suggestion a lot.  I did not go to chromium for its extensions ecosystem, and it is not going down the drain even further on the user power over own software direction.

I would hope that mozilla would have woken up by now..  From it past drinking errors.
