I found a better workaround (diodn't see your activity here):
why this works: Firefox removed js access to ownderGlobal. globalThis works both in ESR140 (strict_min_ver) and ESR152 as tested by me. |

The "Print" filter action stopped working in Thunderbird 128+ (and broken in 152.0.1) due to
window.ownerGlobalno longer providing access toPrintUtils, and theprint.always_print_silentpreference being removed in newer builds.Changes
content/filtaquilla.jswindow.ownerGlobalwithServices.wm.getMostRecentWindow("mail:3pane")to reliably obtainPrintUtilsin modern Thunderbird;window.ownerGlobalkept as fallback:print.always_print_silentpref read/write intry/catch— preference was removed in newer Thunderbird; an unguardedgetBoolPrefthrows and aborts the entire print path. Restore is skipped if the pref was never readable (nullsentinel).
