I have the problem that loading a certain webpage in firefox automatically opens the printer dialog. How is that?
Additional information:
- This only happens on firefox 24.0 on Windows 7. It neither happens on Windows Explorer in Windows 7 nor on Firefox 24 on a Linux system.
- This also happens when using the firefox safemode, with all add-ons disabled.
- I cannot post the webpage, since it is not public and restricted.
- Multiple javascript files are used, but none contains the expression
print()
. - The page content does not contain the phrase 'printer'. It has nothing to do with printing something.
- This happens sometimes, but not always. I cannot say for sure the URL and/or the content is always identical.
- I can answer any other questions, like 'Does the page contain this and that...', 'does the URL contain this and that...'
Basic question: What could be the reason for the annoying printer pop up?
