Firefox – default paper size A4

A bug that has been dragging on for years – Firefox under Ubuntu (and other distros) doesn’t respect the locale setting, and defaults to printing in US Letter size – grrrr…

Firefox: Guide for the Perplexed seems to suggest:

  • about:config
  • print.postscript.paper_size set to “A4″

Now to see if it holds, and work out a way to script this (I have a set of bash scripts that keeps all my Ubuntu desktops the same).

  1. isn’t everything in about:config also valid in user.js?

  2. Thanks for that. Much better now! :)

  3. I do not think I’ve seen this depicted that way before. You really have made this so much clearer for me. Thank you!
