Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: save the following as "test.html" and open it. then try to print-preview and wait 5 seconds. <html> <head><title>print-preview killer</title> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; URL=test.html"> </head> <body> go ahead, just try to print-preview me </body> </html> Actual Results: page switches from paginated layout to normal layout, close button doesn't return you to regular browsing. Expected Results: print preview should never meta refresh!!
Bug 126719 is about that F5 and ctrl + r works in print preview. Not sure if this is a dupe to that one though.

This isn't a dupe; preview should suspend or cancel the refresh timers....

Duplicate of bug #249919.
Making this bug depend on bug 268316. Disabling meta-refresh would be second step after not letting manual refreshes screw things up.
Depends on: 268316
