When I print in FireFox, it defaults to a 4x6 Paper Size. Everywhere else on my Mac (Safari, Word, etc.) it defaults to US Letter. I cannot get this to default to US Letter in FireFox. I have reset printer settings from the FireFox support page and it has not resolved the issue.

In about:config This is the preference which tells Firefox to save the last settings change. print. save_print_settings = True - (default): Save the print settings after each print job This setting has to be changed in about:config if you would want to switch it to False. And as jscher2000 mentioned - print.printer_name.print_paper_height print.printer_name.print_paper_width - the Values are saved as either Inch or Metric measurements depending upon whether US paper sizes (Letter, Legal, custom, etc) or "A" type paper sizes.

These two settings are saved from the Paper selection made in your printer's Printer Properties dialog window which can be opened from the Properties button in the Firefox "native print dialog" window which is what you see when you initiate printing in Firefox via {Ctrl + P} or one of the Print menu items. These two settings are automatically set or changed with each print job which is sent to the printer. There is no way to set a permanent default paper size, the default is the last used paper sizes.

Right, wrong, or indifferent, Firefox does not honor the system-wide default paper or printer settings you make for the printer in your operating system. In Firefox the "last used" is the "default".

That is different than what is used in MacOSX versions of Firefox, so Mac users can't go by how it works on either Windows or Linux OS's.

Sorry, I can't help Mac users - never owned a Mac and don't have access to a Mac. The best I can do is to refer you to the relevant KB page for printing on MacOSX. How to print in Firefox with Mac OSX But I don't see anything there about how to set the Paper Size.
