When I configure tabs to open new documents in a new tab instead of a new window, and open a new document from Start Menu>Run> or from an external application, if the browser is running in print preview mode, the new document open in the same mode

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set Tools>Options>Tabs>Open in a new tab (not sure about the text, my firefox is in Spanish)
2. Start Menu | Run | "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://google.com/
3. In firefox, File | Print Preview
4. Without hitting the firefox [Close] button, Menu | Run | "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://yahoo.com/
Actual Results:  
The second page (yahoo.com in the example) shows in print preview mode.
If I hit the firefox print preview [Close] button, nothing happens unless I switch to the original previewed page before hitting the button.

Expected Results:  
I expected the second page (yahoo.com in the example) to open in a browseable window or tab, not in print preview mode.  Or, at least, to be able to exit the print preview mode from another tab than the one entered that mode.

I think the "Print Preview Mode" is now done in a per-window basis.
I expected it to be per-tab.
Confirming. I've just experienced this with a trunk build as I clicked a link in Thunderbird.

That's not accurate. The print preview toolbar persists, but at the same time the page is fully browsable and not rendered like a print preview. At least that's what I see.
