In Linux (Firefox ESR 17.0), when setting the default for print.print_(header or footer)(option) in /opt/firefox/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js and verifying the change in about:config does not work. When doing a print preview it doesn't show the set values. I have also tried to setting the print_(header and footer)(option) to blank. Please help.

See if it works using a user.js file?

I have created a user.js in my home directory (~/.mozilla/user.js) and looked at at the about:config in my browser to make sure the values are the same as in the user.js file and they match. The following is what I have in my user.js file: pref("print.print_footercenter", ""); pref("print.print_footerleft", ""); pref("print.print_footerright", ""); pref("print.print_headercenter", ""); pref("print.print_headerleft", ""); pref("print.print_headerright", "");

When I go to try to print preview, I still see the firefox default values. I also see the default setting in File > Print > Options

in the user.js file please use user_pref(...); instead.

I tried both user_pref and pref. Still does not show my preferences.

Also the user.js file needs to be in the Firefox profile folder.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
