1130416 - 'Print' button on print preview toolbar does not work for remote browser

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[dw-dev]

When trying to print from a remote browser, the 'Print' button on print preview toolbar does not work, because the oncommand="this.parentNode.print();" does not pass the required aWindow and aBrowser parameters.

Changing the oncommand attribute as follows fixes the problem:

    oncommand="PrintUtils.print(window.gBrowser.selectedBrowser.contentWindowAsCPOW,window.gBrowser.selectedBrowser);"

I am the developer of the Print Edit add-on in which I have implemented this fix.

Try with e10s OFF

I have a high-degree of certainty that this will work with e10s disabled, and that this is an e10s-only bug.

I have re-tested this problem with the latest Nightly version (38.0a1 2015-02-09).

The original problem was noticed in e10s windows. 

However, I can NO LONGER reproduce this problem in e10s windows or non-e10s windows.

I don't know whether something has changed in the latest Nightly version or whether my original testing was flawed.

Anyway, this bug report can be closed.

Mistakenly filed against Firefox 38 and should be instead 38 Branch. Sorry for the spam. dkl
