Firefox crashes when trying to diable dialog box with about:config variable of print_always_print_silent set to True
Using a Raspberry Pi 3 B+. Using for a church check-in station with a DYMO label printer. When attempting to finalize a check in and print the label, firefox crashes when the about:config variable of print_always_print_silent is set to true. Set it to false, the dialog comes up, literally hit "enter" and the label prints. When set to true, firefox ESR crashes. Works with windows laptop but not with Raspberry Pi. Crash report has been submitted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to share the crash report ID's?
Can you add a brief delay on your call to window.print() and see whether that makes any difference?
I'm not sure how to do the window.print(). Is that an attribute in about:config?
Thanks for your help. Mark
Here is the crash report...

Hi Mark:
window.print() would be a command used in your web application to send the label to the printer. I guess it's not your code?
Regarding the crash report, it's much easier for us if you paste the crash report ID from the about:crashes page, which the forum links to the crash stats server.
Yes I don't own the software. The Report ID that was submitted on the 29th of September at 8:05 AM is:
bp-04f93a03-bf97-41bf-9075-ff2330190929
Thanks, Mark
Hi Mark, maybe it's your hardware, but there were no other crashes with the same "signature" reported during the past 30 days, so it seems like something very rare and unusual might have happened.
I'm not familiar enough with printing to understand why you get this on your Pi but not on Windows:
IPCFatalErrorMsg: Error deserializing 'remotePrintJobParent' (PRemotePrintJob) member of 'PrintData'
Perhaps it would make the most sense to file a bug and see whether any of the developers who work on print stuff recognize the problem:
That the Pi 3B+ only has 1 GB internal memory might add to such issues. Crash reports from third-party builds usually do not have symbols available on the Socorro server that allow a cross reference to the source code and are not of much value.
