[:Gijs (he/him)]

I imagine if they want to change this, the add-ons team would have to make changes to about:addons . I expect that's at best not a priority.

(Maybe it's not a P1, since it was failing in the old UI, too, but I feel like we should probably fix it…)

Comment 3

[Jonathan Watt [:jwatt]]

Can we drop this to P2, maximum, and punt to 83. This seems far from our top priority right now.

Comment 4

[Blake Winton (:bwinton) (:☕️)]

Sure, that sounds reasonable.

(Moving bugs to 86, part 2.)

Comment 6

[Luca Greco [:rpl] [:luca] [:lgreco]]

I was wondering if the main change needed to about:addons to fix this printing related issue is fixing Bug 1525179, and so I did just give it a try on my local build and that seems to be the case (I'll attach a screenshot in case Blake would like to see how the printing preview will look like and confirm us that the result is enough to consider this issue as fixed).

In the meantime I'm adding Bug 1525179 as a dependency of this bug and taking it (to signal that is not worth looking into it separately from Bug 1525179).

This issue has been fixed on central by Bug 1525179 (and the fix is now riding the Firefox 87 release train).

I just tried again on a more recent nightly build and the print preview triggered on an about:addons tab does now look like the one attached in comment 7.
