User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 You have not implemented the ability to print a child window. Print is only available from the top level window, which since it takes the focus away cannot print the child window. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a web site 2. pop up a child window 3. Gee whiz. You forgot to implement any way to print this window! Actual Results: gee whiz. No way to print the child window Expected Results: You need to add 1 or more of these 3 things- 1. right click menu on a child window gives option to print it 2. put print option onto the button bar of child windows 3. in the top level window print - provide an option to print instead the child window Severity - I'd call this MAJOR - but it's not something that is in the code and broken, it's a glaring oversite that should have been there in Mozilla and FireFox from day one and people keep omitting, perhaps because they would prefer sites never make use of pop up windows for their core functionality. I have news for you, many sites do make use of pop up child windows, and thank God you provide the ability to allow pop ups on selected sites. The simplest quick fix is probably to add the print option to the right click on a child window, the same as you'd have the option to print or save an image you clicked on.
