After reverting 4b6248d0e7a77e78ee23465a1a70c3fdccf3dc5e the hang in
devel drops back to around 4 seconds, the same behaviour as can be
seen in 1.1.

To be more precise, in case it's needed: I don't even see the brief hang
of a few seconds. The window just pops up, practically immediately.
This being the case I would like to see this change applied (at some

It's reproducible here. It always tries to communicate with CUPS via
IPv6, even with my simple change, only with my change it doesn't block
the Print window from appearing. According to mozillazine's KB[0], my
change of setting "print.postscript.cups.enabled" to "false" 'should'
stop it from trying to access CUPS, so maybe this is a Firefox bug?
