Bug Description

Downloaded and installed latest Firefox update a few minutes ago. Restarted Firefox. I had to change print size from 15 to 16 to get the same displayed size as before. The windows of applets are now truncated on the right. In other words, the applet window is now too narrow to fit the whole content of what the applet wants to display. Nothing crashes. You simply can't see the right-most part of what the applet is displaying.

All was working fine immediately before the update. All still works fine in Seamonkey and Opera.

You can see an example of an affected applet at

There is still the long-standing and irritating problem with Firefox that it always defaults to printing on American paper size despite all my long attempts to get it to default to standard international A4. I do not use Firefox when I need to print stuff off the web.
