Firefox not redirecting when using window.print() script
Have a simple java script on a webpage to bring up the print dialog before redirecting to another page.
<a onclick="javascript:window.print()" href="Screen.php">Print and continue</a>
When the printer dialog comes up if you print it does not redirect but stays on the page. If you cancel the print job it will go ahead and redirect to where it's supposed to go. Worked fine before the latest update was wondering if there was a workaround for this or if anyone was aware of this.

The inconsistency is puzzling. If you change your onclick to the following code, you can see a timing difference in the appearance of the confirm dialog that might be associated with the problem. Maybe printing went from synchronous to asynchronous and now the navigation is attempted at a time when it is not permitted?
onclick="window.print(); if(!confirm('Finished printing?')) return false;"

Thank you that helps. Not perfect but will make it easier for the people using the program. It's an internal program and they use that print redirect about a hundred times a day.
