Build Identifier: 

When executing the script from firebug console:

- setTimeout(print, 100); setTimeout(print, 100); - the "Prevent..." option doesn't appear

- setTimeout("print()", 100); setTimeout("print()", 100); - option appears

Reproducible: Always

I guess print function is something like: alert("foo"); ?
I tried with |function print() { alert("foo"); }| and it worked well. Could you double-check?

Comment 2

[gadjo]

No, print function is something like window.print, just copy/paste both snippets to firebug console. I've checked it once again and it works as I explained - in the first example there is print dialog (press cancel) and print dialog, in the second example there is print dialog, prevent dialog, print dialog.

It works also if you replace print with alert ("print()" with "alert(0)") - in the first example you will have alert box + alert box, and in the second one you will have alert box + alert box with prevent checkbox

Indeed, this doesn't show the checkbox to prevent showing popups:
data:text/html,<script>setTimeout(alert, 100); setTimeout(alert, 100);</script>

But this does:
data:text/html,<script>setTimeout("alert(0)", 100); setTimeout("alert(0)", 100);</script>

(For some reasons, print() doesn't work for me...)

This is actually a dupe of bug 614151.
