How to bypass "User Gesture is Required"?

There is an application which is launched by a script in Firefox. Basically it launches a print job. Unfortunately the application can't launch since Firefox says "User Gesture is Required". We temporarily added a button for a user gesture to be recorded but ultimately we don't want this button here. Is there any setting where we can bypass this "User Gesture is Required" check?

What application is launched by Firefox? What does the screenshot say not what is typed here so others reading can see what is happening.
