Details

(Keywords: regression) 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a new tab (it should be about:newtab).
2. File -> Print Preview.
3. Close the error dialog if it appears (printing of XUL pages is not supported, but the dialog may just say there was an unexpected problem).


Actual results:

A popup with
----
Title: New Tab
Progress: Preparing…
----
stays forever until you close it.


Expected results:

No progress UI for a clearly impossible operation.

What we should really do here is make sure that the user can never get into this state.

Mike, I guess this is now fixed for about:newtab because it no longer uses XUL, but is still an issue for other things like about:preferences ?

(maybe a dupe of bug 565414?)
Yeah, this is fixed now. For other XUL pages like about:preferences and about:config, bug 565414 seems like the right one. Thanks, Gijs!
