Elias, in you comment #175 you didn't wrote which version of Firefox you had when you run it for the first time. Also, have you noticed that if you make a change in Regional Formats in System Settings > Language > Language Support > Regional Formats the change takes effect the next time you log in (see my comment #172).

I tested my hypothesis above. I made a Live USB stick with space to save settings and updates. I used ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso. After changing languge settings to finnish and installing all localization files I opened Firefox for the first time. Paper size in firefox was letter, not A4 as it is supposed to be. Then I changed the variable print.postscript.paper_size to iso_a4 in Firefox config, closed and reopened Firefox and checked if the paper size change persisted. It did, also it was still A4. After that I did sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade. After that and restarting Firefox the paper size was still A4. I think this proves my guess was wrong. There is something else that changes the paper size _back_ to letter size from A4 because this happens to me quite often. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10910 Title: Default page size for printing is letter Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in firefox package in Baltix: Confirmed Bug description: (Default warty install, dist-upgraded to hoary, language chosen is Norwegian) about:config reports that print.postscript.paper_size is letter, which is wrong for Norway, it should be A4.

The bug still exists in Thunderbird (not sure about Firefox). Every time Thunderbird is updated the paper size is changed to letter even if the user uses locale for which the right size is A4. Check out this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=889088=12423297#post12423297 Could it be the case that when Thunderbird update is installed, update process does not check at all what is 1) in the locale or 2) what value Thunderbird config variable print.postscript.paper_size has?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 10910] Re: Default page size for printing is letter
I've tested Firefox 41 on Ubuntu 15.04 and I'd say that the issue has been fixed. Here is the test procedure: (1) Check your Regional Formats in System Settings > Language > Language Support > Regional Formats. Let's say this option is set to "English (United Kingdom)" (if you change it, the change takes effect the next time you log in). That option will change the environment variables for various locale categories including LC_PAPER. (2) Start Firefox with default user settings. You can do it by running "firefox -P" and creating a new user profile. (3) Try to print (Ctrl+P). On the Page Setup tab you get "Paper size: A4". I get this result even without step (2). If the Regional Formats are set to "English (United States)" then you get "Paper Size: US Letter". You can also test this without changing Regional Formats: in the Terminal Window run the following commands and check the paper size as in step (3) above: LC_PAPER=en_GB.UTF-8 firefox LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 firefox -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10910 Title: Default page size for printing is letter Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in firefox package in Baltix: Confirmed Bug description: (Default warty install, dist-upgraded to hoary, language chosen is Norwegian) about:config reports that print.postscript.paper_size is letter, which is wrong for Norway, it should be A4.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 10910] Re: Default page size for printing is letter
I like everything else about firefox except for this one infuriating bug. This bug was first filed in 2004. It's now 2013. 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 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. OpenOffice and Libreoffice get the paper size right. GIMP gets the paper size right. Inkscape gets the papersize right. Abiword gets the paper size right. Gedit gets the paper size right. Tuxpaint gets the papersize right. 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. But not Firefox. Firefox defaults to US_Letter. Even though my printer is set for A4. Even though my language is en_NZ. 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. Firefox is the ONLY program that does this. And it's been doing it far too long.

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.

Add the prefs lines from #143 to the file /etc/firefox/syspref.js instead of seperate files. I tested this on a Ubuntu 12.04 with firefox 13 and it works as defaults for user-settings that you create after that change. It does not override user-settings that exists already! In this case you can change these settings with #147. In #143 i am referring to thunderbird. I hope this is not confusing, but this works equivalently for firefox if you user /etc/firefox/pref instead of /etc/thunderbird/pref. In theory you could also use /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref for the settings but anything you change here will be gone with the next firefox update. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10910 Title: Default page size for printing is letter Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: In Progress Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: New Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “firefox-3.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “firefox-3.5” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “ubufox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Baltix: Invalid Bug description: (Default warty install, dist-upgraded to hoary, language chosen is Norwegian) about:config reports that print.postscript.paper_size is letter, which is wrong for Norway, it should be A4.

I must correct: the subdirectory /etc/firefox/pref is outdated and no more used by recent versions in ubuntu.

You can also lock down these settings, then these settings override user-settings. To do that you have to use lockPref(print.print_paper_name, iso_a4); instead of pref(print.print_paper_name, iso_a4);.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 10910] Re: Default page size for printing is letter
i am on ubuntu natty, with thunderbird 12 i run it on a terminal server with 20 users on it. Before that i utilized thinderbird 3 as long as i could. I had to adjust the parameters with that change, as they were a little different in version 3. I named the file aa_paper.js, i have others in that directory too, like aa_proxy.js and aa_cache.js for variuous global settings. Files in that directory are processed in reversed sort order (at least that waas like this in version 3), therefore mine start with aa_ . File name must end with .js When you test this, you should completely wipe or move the ~/.thunderbird folder to make sure that user settings do not interfere, because they would have preference over global settings. hope that helps! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10910 Title: Default page size for printing is letter Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: In Progress Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: New Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “firefox-3.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “firefox-3.5” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “ubufox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Baltix: Invalid Bug description: (Default warty install, dist-upgraded to hoary, language chosen is Norwegian) about:config reports that print.postscript.paper_size is letter, which is wrong for Norway, it should be A4.

Try to put a file in /etc/thunderbird/pref, which is used by the ubuntu thunderbird with the following content: // pref(print.print_landscape, false); pref(print.print_paper_size_height, 297,00); pref(print.print_paper_size_width, 210,00); pref(print.print_paper_size_unit, 1); pref(print.print_paper_size_type, 1); pref(print.print_paper_name, iso_a4); // pref(print.postscript.paper_name,iso_a4); pref(print.postscript.orientation, portrait); That should work as a default for the first use of a printer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10910 Title: Default page size for printing is letter Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: In Progress Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: New Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “firefox-3.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “firefox-3.5” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “ubufox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Baltix: Invalid Bug description: (Default warty install, dist-upgraded to hoary, language chosen is Norwegian) about:config reports that print.postscript.paper_size is letter, which is wrong for Norway, it should be A4.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 10910] Re: Default page size for printing is letter
As I just commented in the sister bug on the Mozilla bugzilla (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147419): I just did a new installation of Xubuntu 11.10, and then upgraded all the packages. The resulting Firefox version is 11.0. I changed the contents of my /etc/defaults/locale file to LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 then logged out and back in again. Now, when I print a page from Firefox, A4 is the paper size used, which is correct, but when I do a print-to-file, the default paper size is still letter. So this bug has not yet been completely fixed. By the way, it's coming up on the bug's tenth birthday.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 10910] Re: Default page size for printing is letter
Hi, I have the same bug in Firefox 7.0.1 on a french installation of Kubuntu 11.10. The standard paper format in France is A4. I always use the last stable version of Firefox distributed by Canonical. I print each month a PDF receipt of the payment of my rent (I pay at the end of the month). I never cared about setting the paper format. So it is interesting to see what happened in the last years, the format of my receipts has been continuously changing over the time: August 2008 to February 2009: A4 (intrepid) March 2009 to March 2011: US letter (jaunty, karmic, lucid, maverick) April 2011 to August 2011: A4 (natty) August 2011 to now: US letter (natty, oneiric) The change from US letter to A4 end of April 2011 can be related with the update to Firefox 4.0. The last change back to US letter can be related with the update to Firefox 7.0. The workaround proposed in https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/10910/comments/109 worked for me. A fix should change the FF setting according to the locale. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10910 Title: Default page size for printing is letter Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: In Progress Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: New Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “firefox-3.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “firefox-3.5” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “ubufox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Baltix: Invalid Bug description: (Default warty install, dist-upgraded to hoary, language chosen is Norwegian) about:config reports that print.postscript.paper_size is letter, which is wrong for Norway, it should be A4.
