Firefox Page Setup has no Margin/Headers tab

Asked by Steve Thomas

When I select Page Setup from the file menu, I get only a simple dialog that lets me select printer and page orientation. There's no tab allowing me to change margins or header/footer.

Was expecting a dialog like the one in Thunderbird.

Using FF 3.0.14 on Jaunty.

Hi Steve,

You're right, the dialog does not show the margins option. But you can still adjust them in this very dialog box that appears once you choose File > Page Setup. All you have to do is click on the "page size" field and choose the option "choose custom size" (or something like this, I don't have English in my menu), then you'll be able to choose margin sizes.

It seems like there is also a add-on that will add this functionality to Firefox without the need of going through those steps, but I cannot comment on this since I haven't used it. Anyhow, if you're interested in, have a look at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1778

Can you help with this problem?
