After capture, changing PDF options has no effect

Question

(The search here doesn't work for some reason, I searched for "PDF" and no results returned, even though there are a couple topics on the first page of bugs with "PDF" in the title. Hopefully didn't just waste significant time reporting this for you or duplicating previous report...)

Plugin version: 1.12.18
OS type and version: Linux, X11/Gnome 44.9
Version of browser: Firefox/122.0.1
Webpage URL causing this problem: N/A, Any
Steps to reproduce the bug:
  1. Start browser
  2. Capture a screenshot
  3. Click on "Click to setup..." in the Actions box next to "Save to PDF" label
  4. PDF options pops up, change desired options, such as page size or header/footer content, etc. Click OK.
  5. Click "Save to PDF" button
Results (actual): The new PDF options are ignored, not saved, and the screenshot is saved with the previous PDF options
Results (desired): The options that were just configured are used.
Workaround: Instead of clicking "Click to setup..." in the Actions box, click the gear icon in the upper right. The full FireShot options are displayed. Click on the "Configure PDF saving options" button and configure desired settings, click OK. The options will be immediately applied and the main FireShot options can be closed, there is no need to scroll to the bottom and "Apply" or "Save and Close" the options. Back on the screenshot capture tab, click "Save to PDF" button and the PDF is saved with the desired PDF settings.
Logs: Nothing was logged in the console after the initial capture and FireShot tab displayed.

Accepted Answer
