I can not adjust print margins in Firefox: even modifying them, they always remain the same. Why?

Why is it impossible to adjust print margins in Firefox? Even if you change the values, the printing margins are always the same. Why? With other browsers (Edge, Chrome), on the same websites, this does not happen and you can freely choose your favorite print margins, with Firefox not.

Also, I filed a bug, but I don't know if anyone will have interest in working on it since printing often is last in line for fixing, especially when the causes of the problem are uncommon: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1512893


Until then, the workaround: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1243091#answer-1179748

Ok, I really thank you jscher2000. I tried the new script and it works well, I also tried it in some other site from which I usually print different articles and it works: finally the margins are the right ones! I hope, however, that soon this bug will be permanently resolved in one of the upcoming Firefox releases. I must admit that when I contacted Firefox support I expected to get some answers about my problem, but I thought it would be complicated (not to say impossible) to solve it: instead I found a kind, helpful and smart person who has dedicated time and work to solve a bug of a function of Firefox that, perhaps, for those who print rarely is not such an important thing, but for me, which I print with a certain frequency, is one of the features that I want to be made in the best possible way in the browser I use. Firefox support is great, and you've been great! Thank you!
