With bug 193001 the old File ->Page Setup Dialog was replaced with the system's gnome dialog. Options not provided by the system's dialog should have been shifted to a custom options tab in the new print dialog (File ->Print ->Options). However the possibility of setting borders of the pages sent by Mozilla to the system's print system is missing. And Mozilla does not not recognize the page borders provided by the system. Actually I don't know whether it could get the border settings from i.e. the CUPS settings at all. We need the possibility to set the borders of the pages sent to the printing system.
Maybe this bug is a dupe of bug 192999 or it should depend on it. But I'm not really sure.

You can set margins by making a custom paper size in the Page Setup, which is how it is usually done in GNOME apps.
That's very unintuitive, I don't think that normal, non-tech users even find that (heck, even I didn't) - apart from the known problems with custom paper sizes and various printer drivers. I don't even think that people will find that they can't change the paper format in the print dialog like everywhere else, but only via page setup.
Bump! It's 2012. Firefox 13.0.1 still does not have page margins, headers, footers settings. Please fix this issue.
Firefox 21. Setting margin settings still buried deep. Only found out how to do it while searching if there is a bug against that.
Bug exists in Firefox 52.
Found bug report on launchpad, which is 8 years old, was about Firefox 3.0 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/414679.

Firefox 52 All I want to do is print some graphical images -- maps -- on paper with no margins, or as close to no margins as I can get. So how do I set margins to 0? It's not in print preview. It's not in page setup. As far as I can tell it's _nowhere at all_. I gave up and used chrome.
Moving to p3 because no activity for at least 1 year(s). See https://github.com/mozilla/bug-handling/blob/master/policy/triage-bugzilla.md#how-do-you-triage for more information

Marking this as resolved:wfm. It's been a long time since this issue was reported and with the latest work on Firefox Print Preview setting up custom margins (even having 0) is now easy to do and at hand.
