this is a low volume content crash signature while printing, that's starting to show up in firefox 80.0b - i'm unsure about what might have regressed it.

jwatt: could this be a regression from some of your recent print infrastructure changes for getting us out of nested event loops etc?

(Note that it's showing up in Firefox 80 builds, so it would've hypothetically regressed from something in that timeline, i.e. a month or so ago.)

I've reproduced this crash signature with Fx 81.0a1 on Windows 10 x64 by simple pressing the Print button from the new Print modal twice; sometimes the crash is trigger directly, sometimes I have to interact with the popup message error.

I think this is another version of bug 1657911, but happens on printing instead of on print preview.

I've reproduced this crash signature with Fx 81.0a1 on Windows 10 x64 by simple pressing the Print button from the new Print modal twice; sometimes the crash is trigger directly, sometimes I have to interact with the popup message error.

Just wondering what is the expected behavior on the twice clicking print? Two sets of the print?

Looks like subsequent print requests would be discarded basically, but yeah in this case unfortunately the document just finished loading so that the check fails?

I've confirmed that adding (mPrintJob && mPrintJob->IsDoingPrint())here mitigates the crash though, I think the print button should be disabled until the Promise returned by print function gets fullfilled.

I will leave the decision up to :jwatt.

hiro - can you reproduce this crash then?

I'd briefly looked at it and it appeared to be that we had already had a failure causing mRemotePrintJob to be set to null at [1]
Then this was being recalled on docshell destruction (I don't see nsDocumentViewer::Print in the stack), presumably because some other changes had meant we were now recalling this by mistake.
It would be good to find that mistake, but given how much all of this is changing currently, I was just going to add a null check at the top of nsDeviceContextSpecProxy::BeginDocument.

I haven't disabled the button, so I am not 100% sure it fixes the crashes entirely. With the IsDoingPrint IIRC I still saw a crash, it was quite hard to reproduce though.

Though I am not sure what you mean by "mistake", a mistake I noticed is that the docshell busy check in nsDocumentViewer::Print.

Since I saw the crash with the IsDoingPrint, I tried to find a place to tell whether "we are not yet ready to process the next printing", but I couldn't find it so I'd suggest to disable the print button.

Flags: needinfo?(hikezoe.birchill)

An additional note I should share is that there are two different crashes; one is triggered by nsLoadGroup::Cancel (bp-4eed8673-e9c7-48bb-aa0b-81b8a0200809), the other is triggered by nsLoadGroup::RemoveRequest (bp-ea7189bf-3a01-4e24-92b2-cfaa70200812). I think the latter is a kind of normal operation case, and what I saw with the IsDoinPtint is this case.

So, when you do get the crash does it match this signature and stack?

By mistake I meant some fairly recent change meant that we were recalling RemotePrintJobChild::InitializePrint after it had previously failed.
Also, like I said, I don't see nsDocumentViewer::Print in the stack, do you think that is related because of another code path leading up to this crash?

Yes, I saw the both case I mentioned in comment 8.

I suppose this crash is caused by multiple (in the least case it's two) print requests. And I suppose the later print request is submitted or breaks the previous request (I believe the latter is plausible), and when the previous request is processed by the doc loader state change (either it's normally loaded or stopped by an error), the crash happens.

Ah, apologies hiro, I missed this second comment to my needinfo. :-)

Right sorry for being slow to get this.

For what it's worth I think disabling the Print button, until the print has completed should happen (if the below doesn't).
However to be honest I think we should close the new combined Print/Print Preview dialog when the Print button is clicked.
That's what happens with the native dialog and that's what Chrome does.

Our old Print Preview doesn't though.
One argument against closing might be that our page range printing doesn't yet allow multiple ranges, but I still think that would be a minority of cases, so having to Ctrl+P again shouldn't be too bad.
We could even add a tick box to "Keep Preview open after printing" or something for special cases.

Depends on: 1659622

I filed bug 1659622.

I filed bug 1659624, but this needs platform work. See the comment there.

Oh! I really thought it did, but then I'm a mac user.

I am expecting bug 1659432 also fixed this.

Anca or Emil, can you still see the crash on your side?

Flags: needinfo?(emil.ghitta)
Flags: needinfo?(anca.soncutean)

I can no longer reproduce this on Win 10 ARM since bug 1659432 landed. Instead, double-clicking the Print button gives the "Some printing functionality is not currently available" error, but no crash. Bug 1659622 and bug 1659624 should help mitigate this.

We've had no Nightly 81 crashes since 20200818092452.

This is verified fixed with Fx 81.0a1 (2020-08-20) across platforms (Windows 10, Ubuntu 18.04 and macOS 10.14) since I can no longer trigger the crash.
