User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100527 Firefox/3.6.4 XPCOMViewer/0.9a

When in print preview mode, most of the browser chrome is hidden and a limited print related toolbox is presented.

While in print preview, if an external app launches firefox with a new uri, the uri is opened and the new tab is selected.  

When selecting the new tab, only the tab bar returns, the rest of the chrome is hidden.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click print preview
2. Note that the toolbars and tabbar disappear.
3. Launch a webpage externally, e.g. type firefox www.google.com from your windows run box.
Actual Results:  
Note that the tabbar has reappeared.

Expected Results:  
Exit print preview mode and switch to new tab or remain in print preview mode without changing tabs.

The only way to "Exit" out of this mode is to switch back to the original tab containing the document that was being previewed and clicking on the "Close" button on the preview bar.
