So continuing my previous rant; I have just followed the procedure of
1) Download Firefox-24.0 English(UK) version for Linux 2) Download Firefox-24.0 English(UK) version for Linux again and compare just to be sure I didn't accidentally get the wrong one 3) Check environment and observe LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8 4) Check printer settings and see that default paper size is A4 5) rm -rf ~/.mozilla so there are no previous settings. 6) As root, rm -rf /opt/firefox and extract the one I just downloaded 7) as normal user again, run firefox and get the usual first-run page 8) about:config and search for paper_size Observe that paper size is letter. There is nothing on my computer that suggests it should be using letter, and as mentioned earlier no other program that I ever print from has EVER decided that the paper size should be letter. Only firefox gets this wrong. It's been getting it wrong now for about ten years. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10910 Title: Default page size for printing is letter To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/10910/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
