This is probably the fault of my computer & not Firefox but when I print something from a website the print size is too big. How can I change this...

File > Page Setup = Scale
100% is usually best

If you can't see the Menu Bar with File, Edit, View, etc - hit the Alt key to temporarily reveal the Menu Bar.

A more direct way to adjust the scale is to go to print --> print preview. Then you can adjust the scale and change orientation at the top of the page, and see the result immediately. This is a good way to see how the pages will print before sending them to the printer, and allows you to select only the pages you want to print.
