Build ID: 20160421124000

Steps to reproduce:

Running FireFox in LXpup Linux. Manually update using the Help-About FireFox-Check for Updates method. Have successfully updated since version 44.0.2. Upon updating to 46, no printers show up in the print dialog box (invoked from File-Print) My printer shows up and is functional in Opera, WPS, Abiword, and other programs. CUPS is running and printer is listed there as well. Google search suggests the GTK3 has broken printing in FireFox. My printer is a Brother DCP-J152W running on AMD64 system.


Actual results:

See above.


Expected results:

The update should have the necessary code to preserve printing capability.

Solved the problem for my particular Linux installation. On LxPup (Compiz version based on Slackware 14.03) I updated the data bases in Puppy Package Manager and GTK +3-3.4.4 appeared. Installed that and now my printer shows up in FireFox and i was able to print successfully.
