Description
Is the feature relevant to the Firefox PDF Viewer?
Yes
Feature description
If there is a sidebar page selection (in the following screenshot, pages 1 and 3), I would expect the print "Pages" option to match this sidebar selection, i.e., having "Pages" set to "Custom" and filled with "1,3" instead of the current default of "All".

Research direction
Start by tracing how the PDF viewer's print dialog initializes the Pages option and how the sidebar exposes selected page numbers. Reproduce a selection such as pages 1 and 3, then verify that the dialog defaults to Custom with "1,3" and that printing uses the selected range.
