Does anyone know how to permanently save the page setup in Firefox in Linux (ie, Fedora)?

In Windows it is easily done, under File, Page Setup, Margins & Header, then you can change it and click OK and it remembers that setting.

However, in Linux, you have to go to File, Print, Options, and then change it there, however there is no Save or OK button, so it only works for that one print job and you have to change it each time.

We need to permanently stop Firefox in Linux from printing anything in the header, especially the URL.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Always

See if this works for you - worked for me on Ubuntu 10.04: Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter. If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Put header in the Filter line and right-click each of those three preferences one at a time; select Modify and clear that code so the box is empty - then hit OK button.
