Re: It goes both ways...

LaTeX not respecting your wishes in terms of paper size is not correct either, I agree. Long ago people worked out that systems would have to behave differently and worked out ways for software to know this. I haven't worked with anything TeX related recently, so unfortunately can't comment on LaTeX specifically.

For me a few small differences between Firefox and LaTeX on this issue:

A4 seems to be vastly more popular, so if we can't adapt to the environment, A4 is the only sane default. Still, the software should adapt. The default should only be used as a last resort.
Firefox is a huge project with a huge emphasis on including people from all over the world. Check in how many languages each version is released. If we can just override this in our locales, at least some users will get the correct behaviour. Currently all Afrikaans users are basically guaranteed to get the wrong paper size which can jam a network printer.
