KDE system print dialog with Firefox 99?

Hi, can anyone get Firefox 99 to use the KDE system print dialog?

Nothing on the Arch Wiki Firefox page about KDE integration works for me.

In Firefox 97/98 I could change these settings in about:config:

widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker = 1
widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.mime-handler = 1
widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.print = 1
widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.settings = 1

Then I could get the KDE system print dialog by clicking the "Print using the system dialog..." in the Firefox print preview.

In Firefox 99, widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.print is gone.     
No matter what I set the other widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.* keys to, I can only get the Firefox print dialog, when clicking the "Print using the system dialog..." in the Firefox print preview.     
I do not get the KDE system print dialog.

On Apr. 08. I posted a help question on the Firefox support system, but there has been no answers there.

Any insight will be much appreciated.

Best regards
Johnny

Unfortunately, it was removed with https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D139594. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.c … short_desc tracks its reimplementation. I suggest you follow it.
