There is nothing on my computer that suggests it should be using letter, and no other program that I ever print from has EVER decided that the paper size should be letter.

Pleas, for the love of Free Software, FIX THIS BUG.ġ) Download Firefox-24.0 English(UK) version for LinuxĢ) Download Firefox-24.0 English(UK) version for Linux again and compare just to be sure I didn't accidentally get the wrong oneģ) Check environment and observe LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8Ĥ) Check printer settings and see that default paper size is A4ĥ) rm -rf ~/.mozilla so there are no previous settings.Ħ) As root, rm -rf /opt/firefox and extract the one I just downloadedħ) as normal user again, run firefox and get the usual first-run pageĨ) about:config and search for paper_size Even when I've manually changed ALL of the defaults back to A4 under about:config it still bloody-mindedly sets everything back to US-Letter every singe time there's some minor point-update of Firefox.įirefox is the ONLY program that does this. EVERY OTHER program I use under any distro of Linux manages to correctly determine that I use A4 paper and doesn't give me any problems.įirefox defaults to US_Letter. OpenOffice and Libreoffice get the paper size right.
I live in the other 96% of the world that uses A4 paper, so every time I try to print from Firefox I get an error message on my printer. I've just upgraded to Firefox 24.0 on Debian and my default paper size has, once again as it does every upgrade, reverted to the US_Letter papersize. I like everything else about firefox except for this one infuriating bug.
