Summary: Print dialog come up but will not send output to printer → printing broken again on trunk - Print dialog come up but will not send output to printer

I see this in the console now:
Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "outerWindowId", aBrowsingContext.currentWindowGlobal is undefined
printWindow chrome://global/content/printUtils.js:306
startPrintWindow chrome://global/content/printUtils.js:293
getContentWindowOrOpenURI chrome://messenger/content/mailWindow.js:754
createContentWindow chrome://messenger/content/mailWindow.js:708

Print preview doesn't work either

printPreview chrome://global/content/printUtils.js:409
observe chrome://messenger/content/msgPrintEngine.js:86

Ping, can you look at this ASAP?

Attached patch 1671131.patchSplinter Review

Bug 1669925 added an extra argument to printPreview and startPrintWindow for telemetry purpose. This patch ports it to c-c, sadly this only fixes printing. Print preview crashes with no error message now, will investigate more.

[Approval Request Comment]
Regression caused by (bug #): bug 1669925
User impact if declined: can't print
Testing completed (on c-c, etc.): landed on comm-central
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): not much risk as printing is completely broken without it

Pushed by mkmelin@iki.fi: https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/b66fdf9b7398 followup - fix quotes to make viewSource.xhtml valid xml. rs=bustage-fix DONTBUILD

Sorry, I also missed a few changes to printWindow, will send a patch soon.

Never mind, it was startPrintWindow changed, no missing. However, print in viewSource window doesn't work, don't know why.
