jsPrintSetup is not working on mac os x #34

I was trying to get jsPrintSetup to work on my laptop (macbook Pro), and i have latest stable version of Firefox.

I installed the jsprintsetup addon, restarted firefox (many times), but when i try to access jsPrintSetup from the console, it says it is undefined, i have tried the plugin on a virtual machine that have ubuntu installed and it worked fine, so i assume the problem only happens on mac os x.

Try to write simple HTML with javascript to test it

ok i tried it now, didn't work either, this error showed up in the console:

ReferenceError: jsPrintSetup

and here is my html code

<html>
<body>
    <h4>Hello World</h4>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        jsPrintSetup.print();
    </script>
</body>
</html>

and by the way, i have tried my original code on linux, it works fine.

i have found something weird,

when i go to firefox's addons page "from the browser menu" and open console, i can use jsPrintSetup, but in any webpage the console just reports that jsPrintSetup is undefined.

Do you have some other add-ons which can block jsPrintSetup? I have tested on Mac OS Yosemite 10.10 following example and works.

<html>
<head>
   <meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
    <h4>Hello World</h4>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        alert(jsPrintSetup);
    </script>
</body>
</html>

i have only other two extension,

i don't think any of those would block jsPrintSetup, is there is a way to debug this and see what's going on ?

Are you sure that add-on is installed correctly? What is displayed in list of installed add-ons?

so i did a clean install with only jsPrintSetup installed and it works just fine, i have no clue why it didn't work before, maybe another plugin caused this behaviour, thanks anyway.
