I cannot go into the printer Properties in the crossword program above (enter crossword, click "Print" in between Options and Solve) to change the settings.  Other items on this screen also don't work, such as trying to change the printer or clicking Cancel (doesn't work).  I was able to print a puzzle on this site yesterday with the 2/2/11 Nightly build (you need to print the puzzle using the app and NOT the Minefield main printer command, as you will not get all the clues printed).  Clicking OKAY to try to print ALSO doesn't work.  Only way to close this screen is by clicking the [X].

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Cannot print crossword (REGRESSION).  Worked with 2/2/11 morning Nightly build (before 10:00 AM Eastern time).

Expected Results:  
I was able to print the crossword yesterday and now cannot with the new build.  Another site I print, which also uses Flash, doesn't work as well (http://www.patsajakgames.com/games/psgcc_online.html).

Confirming with 
 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b12pre) Gecko/20110204 Firefox/4.0b12pre (f2a6a78478dc)


Works still with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b12pre) Gecko/20110203 Firefox/4.0b12pre (f911fba0ea0b)

Another regression range:

2/3/11 Nightly = WORKS (http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/094a7967e171)
       (SQUARE Back / Forward buttons)

2/4/11 Nightly = BROKEN (http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-centralrev/847a825087f2) 
       (ROUND Back / Forward buttons)


Is the 2/4/11 Nightly an OLDER build than the 2/3/11 one???  I ask this because with the 2/3/11 build the top area (location bar, tabs, etc) is smaller AND the Back / Forward buttons are now square instead of round.  I also noticed this when trying the Tinderbox builds.

This is still broken in the 2/5/11 Nightly (http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/4574f9e56d49).

Comment 4

[Chris B.]

This affects ALL Flash apps that have an internal print command and Flash is widely used on the Web, which is why I nominated this for Blocking Release Candidate.

works with 344de3f6033f

so new Range:
344de3f6033f last known good
f911fba0ea0b first known bad

Comment 6

[Florian J. [:FeuerFliege]]

sry meant 

344de3f6033f last known good
f2a6a78478dc first known bad

Comment 7

[Florian J. [:FeuerFliege]]

019e47cc11e2 last known good
95fa72a8e8ab first known bad

So most likely the patch for bug 628872 caused this regression.

This is FIXED in the 2/6/11 Nightly:

Then, is printing the Washington Post crossword a different issue as I cannot print it with the latest 6th or 7th Feb nightly?

Re Comment 9: HP Extension blocking printing - not a FF issue
