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!
