DOM

  • The innerWidth and innerHeight properties on Window objects have been updated to return the width and height of the layout viewport in all situations, rather than sometimes being based on the visual viewport. In particular, previously when using Responsive Design Mode, these returned the visual viewport dimensions, causing the behavior to vary from what was expected (Firefox bug 1514429).

WebDriver conformance (Marionette)

  • Added WebDriver:Print to print the current page as a PDF document (Firefox bug 1604506).
  • Webdriver:TakeScreenshot now always captures the top-level browsing context and not the currently-selected browsing context, if no element to capture has been specified (Firefox bug 1398087, Firefox bug 1606794).
  • Using Webdriver:TakeScreenshot's full argument causes the complete page to be captured (Firefox bug 1571424).
