[Elias Aarnio <elias.aarnio@xxxxxx>]

I tested my hypothesis above. I made a Live USB stick with space to save
settings and updates. I used ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso. After
changing languge settings to finnish and installing all localization
files I opened Firefox for the first time. Paper size in firefox was
letter, not A4 as it is supposed to be.

Then I changed the variable print.postscript.paper_size to iso_a4 in
Firefox config, closed and reopened Firefox and checked if the paper
size change persisted. It did, also it was still A4.

After that I did sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade.
After that and restarting Firefox the paper size was still A4.

I think this proves my guess was wrong.

There is something else that changes the paper size _back_ to letter
size from A4 because this happens to me quite often.

  (Default warty install, dist-upgraded to hoary, language chosen is

  about:config reports that print.postscript.paper_size is letter, which is wrong
  for Norway, it should be A4.  It should probably look at LC_PAPER or /etc/papersize
