Er, I think the point of the bug is to say that Firefox shouldn't just
stop working just because of an update.  Forcing the user to start over
(rather than finish what they're doing) isn't exactly user-friendly.  

When a full system restart is required, the entire system doesn't
immediately cease to function.  The user can put off those restarts.
Why can't the user put off restarting Firefox in the same way?  If the
user doesn't care about seeing the new features and just wants to keep
doing what they're working on, they shouldn't be forced to take a break,
lose everything they were working on, restart Firefox, and start over
everything they were doing.

Status in "firefox-3.0" source package in Ubuntu: Invalid

Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Relatively simple.   I select print page, the program puts a preparing
dialog box, and nothing happens.   (except the program darkens out after
about 9 seconds).     Tried multiple times, did not work printing to *.pdf
either.    Did not have this issue with the previous version, which I
thought was rock solid.  Steve

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Firefox
2. Install updates, including Firefox updates
3. Try to print to either a physical printer or CUPS PDF

Expected results:
Printing

Actual results:
Dialog appears as if it will print, but printing never occurs

DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04
Package: firefox-3.0 3.0.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
