[Bug 627648] Re: firefox/thunderbird default to US Letter for papersize

[Paul Crawford]

Unfortunately (1) moving some machines to 12.04 is not an acceptable option due to the vast differences in user interface, and (2) it is still not right (as far as I can tell) with 12.04 as a recently installed test system when set up for UK preferences with an OKI network printer set for A4, both Firefox and Thunderbird still default to US Letter paper size.
Even more irritating is the behaviour when each upgrade of Firefox or Thunderbird, often for security reasons and not choice, changes the settings back - that is fundamentally broken behaviour and is the sort of old MS arrogance of "we don't care what you configured, we know best" by resetting user's preferences for no good reason. I don't know (yet) if they break this on upgrades for 12.04 as we have not really used/checked this on the test system.
Since 10.04 is supposed to be LTS and this bug is old, it should be fixed for 10.04. Also I doubt it is an OS-side problem but must be an application problem, most certainly the arbitrary reset of previously configured preferences must be!
