The print preview is taking about 2 minutes to generate in Firefox, and for the last 15 seconds the entire Firefox window becomes unresponsive. I am only “printing” to a PDF to save, and I have no printers connected to my (modern) laptop.
When I tried on Chrome for comparison, it takes about 30 seconds (still a ridiculous amount of time) but without the freezing behavior.
I tried setting print.prefer_system_dialog to false (which does not generate a preview that I can see), but Firefox still takes just as long to pop up the system dialog and the window still freezes.
I only really care about fixing the problem with Firefox. Any suggestions are welcome, thanks!

With Firefox 121 it takes me around 1 second to generate the print preview of this post. I recall however that I had similar issues in the past (while slow, never 2 minutes though). Maybe a system update with an up to date kernel version could help? I’m on Linux
6.1.69for reference.
