I have for a long time set my /etc/papersize to "letter". In my experience Firefox ignores it. At some point the default setup for the Firefox package became A4 and I have to manually re-set it to letter, manually in the pop-up, whenever I print. Can't make it default to letter. Can't find an about:config for Firefox that works for me. And it doesn't even remember for the next print you do a few minutes later. Suspect it's hardwired in by the ports developers. Keep telling myself to look for a change to compile in, but shudder to think of building Firefox.
Any shortcut would be much appreciated.
