The problem could be deeper than forgetting the settings.  This may be a
clue.  Even when the setting is changed to A4, it prints on A4 paper,
but the format is still letter.  (Is this another bug, or part of this
bug?)  Look closely and you will see that Firefox doesn't print to the
bottom of A4 paper. It looks like it simply prints letter layout on A4
paper.

Is it possible that some coder years ago thought the whole world was
letter and hard-coded it deep in a line somewhere, such that all
subsequent attempts to do otherwise are defeated?  (BTW, there are only
three countries in the world still sticking to the old imperial units,
Myanmar (Burma), Liberia and one other country between Mexico and
Canada.  The rest are already metric or changing.)
