Comment 132 for bug 10910

I've just come across this bug myself and can't believe it's been going on years.

Even though my system is setup to use en_GB and /etc/papersize contains 'a4' firefox still defaults to the non-standard 'letter' paper size.

I found that by sym-linking /etc/paper to /etc/papersize firefox will then use the correct A4 size when printing. Is the firefox binary configured to look at the wrong file to determine the default paper size? Can't this be fixed once and for all in the firefox source so it instead references /etc/papersize or have the sym-link automatically created. As for someone that doesn't want these US settings, having to manually apply these fixes for the quirks is quite irritating not to mention the time wasted.
